The process of natural aging in pure ternary Al-Mg-Si alloys was studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy in real time in order to clarify the sequence and kinetics of clustering and precipitation. It was found that natural…
Al-Mg-Si alloys with total solute contents ranging from 0.8 to 1.4 wt.% were solutionised, quenched and then artificially aged (AA) at 180 {\deg}C, after which positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was applied to obtain information…
The effect of Mg content on the natural ageing of Al-Cu-Li-(Mg) alloys has been investigated on a compositionally graded material made by linear friction welding, allowing to probe Mg contents between 0 and 0.4 at.%. High throughput…
Room temperature solute clustering in aluminium alloys, or natural ageing, despite its industrial relevance, is still subject to debate, mostly due to its experimentally challenging nature. To better understand the complex…
The thermal stability of nanocrystalline (nc) Al has been studied by means of positron lifetime spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD), prepared by compacting nanoparticles under high pressures. Those nanoparticles were produced by the…

Al-Mg-Si alloys are utilized in large scale electrical conduction applications thanks to their low density, high strength, and low electrical resistivity. The alloying elements, Mg and Si, are introduced to improve the mechanical strength;…
Undesirable natural aging (NA) in Al-6xxx delays subsequent artificial aging (AA) but the size, composition, and evolution of clustering are challenging to measure. Here, atomistic details of early-stage clustering in Al-1\%Mg-0.6\%Si…
The details of phase separation of a Ni-6.5Al-9.9Mo aged at 978 K for aging times ranging from 0.125 to 1024 h are investigated by atom-probe tomography and lattice-kinetic Monte Carlo (LKMC) simulations. On the basis of the temporal…
