Morphology and Thermal Stability of Metastable Precipitates Formed in an Al-Mg Alloy Aged at 373K and 473K

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present work has investigated precipitation behavior in an Al-17at%Mg alloy isothermally aged at 373K and 473K, by means of Vickers micro-hardness tests, DSC measurements and TEM observations. The present DSC measurements have revealed that the metastable β′-phase precipitates mainly contributed to precipitation hardening of this alloy in isothermal aging at 373K and 473K. The TEM observations have confirmed that the β ' phase precipitates were formed in the {001} planes of Al matrices in platelet shapes.
