Natural aging and early precipitation stages in Al-Mg-Si alloys
Lamač, Marcel ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivan (referee)
Modern aluminium alloys 60xx are rich in sillicon and magnesium. They are easy to machine, are weldable, and can be precipitation-hardened, especially se- ries 6061, which we focus on in this thesis. Series 6061 alloy is currently the most general-purpose industrially used aluminium alloy. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the natural and artificial aging of these alloys through the utilization of positron annihilation spectroscopy and coincidence Doppler broadening of anni- hilation radiation methods. Our goal is precise analysis of precipiation processes, which occur due to natural or artifical aging of the alloy. Although artifical aging in aluminium alloys is a well researched area, understanding and description of key mechanisms controlling the natural aging especially in the early stages of pre- cipitation is not yet sufficiently explained. We use modern methods of positron annihilation spectroscopy to understand and confirm our clustering hypotheses. 1
