New theories, new methods, new technologies and new materials related to pavement engineering are emerging....

Enhancing the intergranular corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of Al–Mg–xSi–Cu–Zn alloys by synergistic intergranular and intragranular precipitation behaviors

The intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of age-hardening Al–Mg–Si–Cu alloys is closely related to the precipitation behavior adjacent to grain boundaries. In this study, we proposed to regulate the interaction of solute atoms and solute partitioning of Zn-containing Al–Mg–xSi–Cu alloys by introducing dislocations, which can...
