      The precipitation behavior and aging response of an Al-4.9Cu-0.74Mg-0.51Si-0.48Mn-0.1Cr-0.08Ti-0.02Fe (wt. %) alloy was examined in detail after aging at 170 °C with different dwell times up to 96 h. Deformation by ...
    • Probing defects in Al-Mg-Si alloys using muon spin relaxation 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Holmestad, Randi; Matsuda, Kenji; Nishimura, K.; Matsuzaki, T; Tomono, D; Pratt, FL; Marioara, Calin Daniel (Journal article, 2012)
      Muon spin methods are very sensitive to nanoscale defects such as trace elements and vacancies in metals. This sensitivity is required when investigating Al-Mg-Si alloys, a complicated system in which diffusion-controlled ...
    • Progress in Understanding Initiation of Intergranular Corrosion on AA6005 Aluminum Alloy with Low Copper Content 

      Kumari, Shilpa; Wenner, Sigurd; Walmsley, John; Lunder, Otto; Nisancioglu, Kemal (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      As part of an extensive research program to study recent, unexpected intergranular corrosion (IGC) on 6xxx series aluminum alloys (AlMgSi), this paper investigates the mechanism of initiation and early propagation of IGC ...

    • Structural Characterization of Natural Quartz by Scanning TEM 

      Busam, Jochen; Wenner, Sigurd; Muggerud, Astrid Marie; Van Helvoort, Antonius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      For quartz, despite its industrial importance and an extensive amount of research done on it, there are still open fundamental questions, e.g. regarding crystal defects, phase changes or damage mechanisms under ionizing ...
    • Structural modifications and electron beam damage in aluminium alloy precipitate θ'-Al2Cu 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Friis, Jesper; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      The –AlCu phase in an Al–4Zn–2Cu–1Mg–0.7Si (wt.%) alloy was investigated by means of scanning transmission electron microscopy. With our specific alloy composition, the phase is often formed with stacking faults on and ...
    • 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 ...
    • µSR study of Al-0.67%Mg-0.77%Si alloys 

      Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Matsuda, Kenji; Komaki, R; Nunomura, Norio; Wenner, Sigurd; Holmestad, Randi; Matsuzaki, Teiichiro; Watanabe, Isao; Pratt, Francis L.; Marioara, Calin Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Zero-field muon spin relaxation measurements were carried out with Al-0.67%Mg- 0.77%Si alloys in the temperature range from 20 K to 300 K. Observed relaxation spectra were compared with the relaxation functions calculated ...
