Deformable alloys based on the Al - Mg - Se system

Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Aluminum alloys with magnesium that are deformable and not strengthened by heat treatment are widely used as a structural meterial due to their good weldability, high corrosion resistance, and high ductility. However, even the strongest alloys of this system, containing 5–6% Mg, have low strength characteristics. For example, annealed sheets of alloy AMg6 have σb = 340 N/mm2 and σ0.2 = 180 N/mm2. The present work concerns the possibility of strengthening AI - Mg alloys by an additional alloying with scandium.
