• The Role of Grain Boundary Precipitates during Intergranular Fracture in 6xxx Series Aluminium Alloys 

      Ringdalen, Inga Gudem; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Friis, Jesper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      During ageing, 6xxx aluminium alloys will develop a microstructure characterised by needle-shaped Mg/Si-rich precipitates in the bulk, precipitate-free zones along the grain boundaries and larger Mg/Si-rich precipitates ...
    • Stress Corrosion Cracking in an Extruded Cu-Free Al-Zn-Mg Alloy 

      Lervik, Adrian; Walmsley, John Charles; Lodgaard, Lars; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Johnsen, Roy; Lunder, Otto; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in Cu-free Al-Zn-Mg (7xxx) aluminium alloys limits its use in many applications. In this work, we study in detail the microstructure of a peak and slightly overaged condition in an AA7003 ...
    • 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 ...
