Abstract Scope |
There is a growing interest to investigate the microstructure and material properties of metal alloys after annealing them under the influence of external magnetic fields. In aluminum alloys, the magnetic properties of the main solute atoms (Mg, Al, Cu, and Zn) could affect the kinetics of the precipitation formation under the influence of the magnetic field. In this study, the effects of magnetic field annealing from 0 to 9 Tesla on precipitation characteristics (size, shape, and distribution) will be revealed by using SAXS and TEM and their mechanical properties will be characterized by hardness and micromechanical testing. The potential applications of using magnetic fields to tailor the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys will also be discussed. |
