A Positron Lifetime Study of Cooling and Natural Aging of Solutionized Aluminum Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The process during cooling of Al–Mg and Al–Mg–Si alloys from the solutionizing temperature down to 20 °C is interrupted. These states are analyzed with positron lifetime spectroscopy to trace the processes during cooling. In different temperature ranges, two stages of vacancy loss and solute clustering are identified.
