The thermodynamics of and strengthening due to co-clusters: general theory and application to the case of Al-Cu-Mg alloys

Co-clusters in ternary or higher order metallic alloys are metastable structures involving two or more distinct alloying atoms that retain the structure of the host lattice. A thermodynamic model based on a single interaction energy of dissimilar nearest neighbour alloying elements is presented, and...
