    • Mechanical Properties of AlSi10Mg Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion at Elevated Temperature 

      Hovig, Even Wilberg; S. Azar, Amin; M'hamdi, Mohammed; Sørby, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      AlSi10Mg processed by laser powder bed fusion is expected to have remarkable mechanical properties due to the dominant cellular microstructure. However, the as-processed material is often both anisotropic and containing ...
    • Nano-scale characterisation of sheared β” precipitates in a deformed Al-Mg-Si alloy 

      Christiansen, Emil; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Holmedal, Bjørn; Hopperstad, Odd Sture; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      This paper compares the nano-scale structure of β” precipitates in a peak-aged Al-Mg-Si alloy before and after deformation. Three complementary advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques are used to reveal the ...
    • Work-hardening and ductility of artificially aged AA6060 aluminium alloy 

      Westermann, Ida; Pedersen, Ketill Olav; Børvik, Tore; Hopperstad, Odd Sture (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The work-hardening and ductility of an artificially aged AA6060 aluminium alloy were studied based on tensile tests of smooth and notched cylindrical samples. The alloy was tested after three processing steps, each followed ...
