Overview of recent work on precipitation in Al-Cu-Mg alloys
Recent work on Al-Cu-Mg based alloys with Cu:Mg atomic ratio close to unity is reviewed to clarify the mechanisms for age hardening. During the first stage of hardening a substantial exothermic heat evolution occurs whilst the microstructural change involves the formation of initially Cu-rich / Mg-r...
