Precipitation in cold-rolled Al–Sc–Zr and Al–Mn–Sc–Zr alloys prepared by powder metallurgy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cold-rolling on thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, microstructure and recrystallization behavior of the AlScZr and AlMnScZR alloys prepared by powder metallurgy were studied.

Experimental and modelling assessment of ductility in a precipitation hardening AlMgScZr alloy

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of precipitation on ductility in precipitation hardening aluminium alloys are investigated based on a modified dislocation-based approach and experimental characterisation, which can provide a theoretical foundation for the design of high-performance structural materials.

Superplasticity of friction-stir welded Al–Mg–Sc sheets with ultrafine-grained microstructure

TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial Al-5.4Mg-0.2Sc−0.1Zr alloy was subjected to equal-channel angular pressing at 300°C to a true strain of ∼12 followed by cold rolling to a total thickness reduction of 80%.

On the role of Sc or Er micro-alloying in the microstructure evolution of Al-Mg alloy sheets during annealing

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure evolutions of a Sc-containing and an Er-containing Al-Mg alloy during annealing process were investigated comparatively, and it was shown that the recrystallization process of the Ercontaining alloy finishes rapidly between 350°C and 400°C, resulting in the formation of large recrstallized grains and the loss of sub-structure strengthening.

Mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength aluminum alloys containing coherent or incoherent dispersoids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the hydrogen embrittlement of a high strength Zr or Cr- added aluminum alloy specimens containing coherent Al3Zr or incoherent Al18Mg2Cr3 dispersoids, respectively.

Friction Stir Welding and Processing

TL;DR: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new solid-state joining process that is used to join high-strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld by conventional fusion welding as discussed by the authors.

The Hardness of Metals

David Tabor
TL;DR: Hardness measurements with conical and pyramidal indenters as mentioned in this paper have been used to measure the area of contact between solids and the hardness of ideal plastic metals. But they have not yet been applied to the case of spherical indenters.
