• Accurately measured precipitate–matrix misfit in an Al–Mg–Si alloy by electron microscopy 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2016)
      The age-hardenable Al–Mg–Si alloy system is strengthened by needle-shaped coherent β″ phase precipitates. Using distortion-corrected high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy images, we measure the considerable ...
    • Achieving dispersed fine soft Bi particles and grain refinement in a hypermonotectic Al-Bi alloy by severe plastic deformation and annealing 

      Zha, Min; Yu, Zhiyuan; Qian, Feng; Wang, Huiyuan; Li, Yanjun; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Roven, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The present work revealed that equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) deformation combined with appropriate annealing could represent as an efficient route to modify immiscible as-cast microstructure of a monotectic Al–8Bi ...
    • Atomic-resolution electron energy loss studies of precipitates in an Al-Mg-Si-Cu-Ag alloy 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Ramasse, Quentin; Kepaptsoglou, Despoina Maria; Hage, Fredrik Sydow; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used to determine the distribution of Cu and Ag atomic columns of precipitates in an Al–Mg–Si–Cu–Ag ...
    • Cu atoms suppress misfit dislocations at the β″/Al interface in Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Saito, Takeshi; Ehlers, Flemming J H; Lefebvre, Williams; Hernandez-Maldonado, David; Bjørge, Ruben; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2016)
      The Cu interactions with the Al–Mg–Si alloy main hardening phase β″ are investigated in atomic scale, by using experimental and simulated high angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques ...
    • Faceted interfacial structure of {1011} twins in Ti formed during equal channel angular pressing 

      Li, Yanjun; Chen, Yongjun; Walmsley, John C.; Mathiesen, Ragnvald; Dumoulin, S; Roven, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      The boundary structure of {1011} deformation twins formed in commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) during the initial pass ECAP processing has been studied by TEM and HRTEM. A new twining mode with twinning dislocation of b3/3, ...
    • The unique hybrid precipitate in a peak-aged Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy 

      Gazizov, Marat; Boev, A.O.; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi; Kaibyshev, Rustam; Aksyonov, D.A.; Krasnikov, V.S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The prevalent hardening phase forming in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy after peak-aging at 150 and 190 °C has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy methods. The precipitate atomic structure was determined. It is ...
