• In-situ X-radiographic study of nucleation and growth behaviour of primary silicon particles during solidification of a hypereutectic Al-Si alloy 

      Xu, Yijiang; Deng, Yun; Casari, Daniele; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Li, Yanjun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Real-time observation of structure evolution in a hypereutectic Al-Si(-Cu) alloy under near-isothermal melt solidification condition was conducted by using in-situ micro-focus X-radiography. The nucleation, growth rate and ...
    • Precipitation in a mixed Al-Cu-Mg/Al-Zn-Mg alloy system 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Friis, Jesper; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2016)
      The precipitation-hardened alloy systems Al–Cu–Mg (2xxx) and Al–Zn–Mg (7xxx) were compositionally combined from a base alloy containing 2% Cu and 1% Mg, added 1–4% Zn (weight fractions). Precipitates in these alloys were ...
    • The effects and behaviour of Li and Cu alloying agents in lean Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Friis, Jesper; Wenner, Sigurd; Røyset, Jostein; Reiso, Oddvin; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2016)
      We show how replacing a fraction of Mg with Li in a lean Al-Mg-Si alloy gives comparable strength and enhanced temperature stability. Replacing solute with smaller amounts of Cu and Li also improves thermal stability and ...
    • β- and δ-Al-Fe-Si intermetallic phase, their intergrowth and polytype formation 

      Becker, Hanka; Bergh, Tina; Vullum, Per Erik; Leineweber, Andreas; Li, Yanjun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Crystal structure characteristics of coexisting β and δ phase were investigated in a purely intermetallic Al-Fe-Si alloy and in plate-shaped intermetallic particles formed in a model secondary Al7.1Si1.2Fe0.3Mn alloy. The ...
