Advanced transmission ... -
Dispersion hardening during annealing at low Temperatures in four 3xxx Al-Mn-Fe-Si Alloys
Mørtsell, Eva Anne (Master thesis, 2012)3xxx aluminiumslegeringer har Mangan som hovedlegeringselement, og får sin styrke fra plastisk bearbeidelse. 3xxx legeringer har tidligere blitt ansett for å oppnå neglisjerbare endringer i hardhet og styrke som følge av ... -
Effect of Zr addition on overaging and tensile behavior of 2618 aluminum alloy
Toschi, Stefania; Balducci, Eleonora; Ceschini, Lorella; Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Morri, Alessandro; Di Sabatino Lundberg, Marisa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The effect of Zr addition on overaging and tensile behavior in a 2618 Al–Cu–Mg–Ni–Fe alloy has been investigated in this study. The chemical composition of the base 2618 alloy, containing ~0.1 wt % of Zr, was modified by ... -
Effects of Germanium, Copper, and Silver Substitutions on Hardness and Microstructure in Lean Al-Mg-Si Alloys
Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Røyset, Jostein; Reiso, Oddvin; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)It is shown that strength loss in a 6060 Al-Mg-Si alloy caused by reduction in solute can be compensated by adding back smaller quantities of Ag, Ge, and Cu. Nine alloys were investigated. Ge was found to be the most ... -
