Simultaneously Enhanced Strength and Ductility of Al–Mg–Si Alloys during Aging Process Induced by Electro-Pulsing Treatment

Most methods used for strengthening metallic materials, such as thermal-mechanical treatment, will sacrifice the ductility. A novel technology, electric pulsing treatment (EPT), is applied to break this trade-off, which produces an Al−Mg−Si alloy with superior ductility and highe...
