Design strategy for controlled natural aging in Al-Mg-Si alloys

William Curtin

This study presents a design strategy for Al-Mg-Si alloys to control natural aging. Recently, trace addition of Sn was shown to suppress natural aging for up to two weeks, which was explained by the strong trapping of vacancies to Sn atoms. Here we explore ...
