Precipitation strengthening of the aluminum alloy AA6111
Abstract
There is an increasing use of aluminum alloy sheet in automotive applications due to the desire to decrease vehicle weight. The current study provides a detailed quantitative study on precipitation strengthening in AA6111, which is the alloy of choice in North America for exposed body panels. Transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the average size, the size distribution, the volume fraction, and the crystal structure of the …
