• Effect of heat input on nanomechanical properties of wire-arc additive manufactured Al 4047 alloys 

      Liu, Siqi; Wan, Di; Peng, Ding; Lu, Xu; Ren, Xiaobo; Fu, Yuequn; Wang, Feng; Li, Yanjun; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Heat input is one of the most important process parameters during additive manufacturing (AM). It is of great significance to understand the effect of heat input on the microstructure and nanomechanical properties, as well ...
    • Local mechanical properties and precipitation inhomogeneity in large-grained Al–Mg–Si alloy 

      Hagen, Anette Brocks; Wenner, Sigurd; Bjørge, Ruben; Wan, Di; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Holmestad, Randi; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Al–Mg–Si (6xxx series) alloys show excellent mechanical properties due to the precipitates formed during heat treatment. However, heat treatment of these alloys results in a soft precipitation free zone (PFZ) close to grain ...
