Abstract
Aluminum-magnesium alloys have an excellent combination of weldability, strength, and corrosion resistance, as well as exceptionally high toughness at room and low temperatures [1–11]. For these reasons, Al-Mg alloys are widely used for critical cryogenic applications, including the storage and ocean transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) [12–15].
