Modeling of Precipitation Sequence and Ageing Kinetics in Al-Mg-Si Alloys

Al-Mg-Si alloys are heat treatable alloys in which strength is obtained by precipitation hardening. Precipitates, formed from a supersaturated solid solution during ageing heat treatment, are GP-zones, B", B´ and B-Mg2Si. Precipitation kinetics and strength vary with alloy composition and process parameters. There is still a need for property...
