The Kinetics of Natural Ageing in 6000 Alloys - a Multi-method Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Room temperature ‘natural’ ageing in Al-Mg-Si alloys was studied by means of six different techniques: electrical resistivity, thermoanalysis, hardness measurement, lifetime of positrons, 3D atom probe and small-angle neutron scattering in order to identify different clustering stages and to study when the negative effect of natural ageing on subsequent ‘artificial’ ageing sets in. The various measurements show that natural ageing is much more complex than anticipated and at least four different stages can be distinguished.

THERMAL ANALYSIS AND KINETICS OF THE PRECIPITATION IN WROUGHT Al-Mg, Al-Mg-ScAND Al-Mg-Sc-Me (Me=Zr, Ti) ALLOYS
Precipitation behaviour of wrought Al-6Mg alloys with ternary scandium and quaternary zirconium and titanium has been studied. Hardness measurements and resistivity studies are employed to assess the precipitation behaviour of scandium doped Al-6Mg alloy without or with quaternary additions of zirconium and titanium. Further, the kinetics of precipitations are studied by differential scanning c...
متن کاملShapley value-based multi-objective data envelopment analysis application for assessing academic efficiency of university departments
This paper adopts a modified approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the academic efficiency of university departments. In real-world case studies, conventional DEA models often identify too many decision-making units (DMUs) as efficient. This occurs when the number of DMUs under evaluation is not large enough compared to the total number of decision variables. To overcome this l...
متن کاملSegregation and Precipitation in iron-chromium alloys: thermal ageing and irradiation effects
We present a brief review of recent advances in the atomistic modeling of segregation and precipitation kinetics in iron-chromium alloys, during thermal ageing and under irradiation. The approach takes into account the real diffusion mechanisms: vacancy and, under irradiation, self-interstitial jumps. Migration barriers are computed with effective pair interactions fitted on ab initio calculati...
متن کاملInfluence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6005 and 6082 aluminium alloys
The main task of this work was to study the influence of the cooling conditions after homogenization of the 6082 aluminium alloys. The effect of the solution heat treatment temperature on the mechanism and ageing kinetics of the two commercial wrought aluminum alloys 6005 and 6082 was also analyzed. The alloys were heat treated—T4 with a wide range of solution heat treatment temperature from 51...
