Matrix Coherency Strain and Hardening of Al-Mg-Si

Article Preview

Abstract:

Standard and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and advanced post processing of the TEM images have been applied for quantitative characterization of the hardening particle structure of an Al-Mg-Si alloy optimized for formation of the metastable phase β’. The relation between the structural characterization and the mechanical properties has been developed. A first attempt is presented on visualization and quantification of the coherency strain field of β’, based on a combination of Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) calculations and continuum mechanical modelling.
