      Qian, Feng; Zhao, Dongdong; Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Jin, Shenbao; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Sha, Gang; Li, Yanjun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This work reports a novel effect of impurity element Cd on enhancing the precipitation kinetics and increasing the peak hardness of Al–Mg–Si(–Cu) alloys during artificial ageing. It is found that the number density of age ...
    • The Effect of Elastic Strain and Small Plastic Deformation on Tensile Strength of a Lean Al–Mg–Si Alloy 

      Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Westermann, Ida; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Pedersen, Ketill Olav; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Røyset, Jostein; Holmedal, Bjørn; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Al–Mg–Si alloys are usually formed into their final shape by rolling or extrusion. After extrusion, the aluminium profiles are usually straightened, causing the material to be subjected to a small plastic deformation. This ...
