• First principle calculations of pressure dependent yielding in solute strengthened aluminium alloys 

      Frafjord, Jonas; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Hopperstad, Odd Sture; Holmestad, Randi; Friis, Jesper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The pressure dependence of the yield stress in solute strengthened aluminium alloys is investigated by first principle calculations. The solute elements studied are magnesium, silicon and copper. A fixed boundary cluster ...
    • Fully resolved strain field of the β’’ precipitate calculated by density functional theory 

      Frafjord, Jonas; Dumoulin, Stephane; Wenner, Sigurd; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Holmestad, Randi; Friis, Jesper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The β′′ precipitate is the main hardening phase in age hardenable Al-Mg-Si alloys, and it is therefore of major scientific and industrial importance. A full model of the β′′ precipitate cross-section embedded in an aluminium ...
    • On the Atomic Structure of the β′′ Precipitate by Density Functional Theory 

      Frafjord, Jonas; Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Holmestad, Randi; Friis, Jesper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The substitution of elements into the precipitate in the 6xxx-series of aluminium alloys is an interface sensitive problem. The strain caused by the misfit between the precipitate and the matrix interacts with the size ...
    • Studying GPI zones in Al-Zn-Mg alloys by 4D-STEM 

      Thronsen, Elisabeth; Frafjord, Jonas; Friis, Jesper; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Wenner, Sigurd; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      A new methodology has been developed to study the fine details of GP zones in age-hardenable aluminium alloys. It is complementary to atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy ...
