T1 - Analysis of the Combined Strengthening Effect of Solute Atoms and Precipitates on Creep of Aluminum Alloys N2 - The creep strengthening mechanisms in (age-hardenable) aluminum alloys are analyzed on the basis of a new microstructural study of powder samples, an analysis of a comprehensive revision of creep data from the literature, and a new modeling approach. A strategy based on the strength difference (SD) method to separate the contributions of solid solution atoms and precipitates to creep strengthening is proposed. The new methodology considers the combination of the two contributions avoiding the need of a threshold stress term in the creep equation. The contribution of both precipitates and solid solution is taken into account by means of the analysis of the lattice parameter variation with aging time. For this study, powders of two commercial AA2xxx alloys have been analyzed using diffraction methods. The experimental results are modeled using Lubarda’s approach combined with the SD method.

T1 - Characterization of precipitation in 2000 series aluminium alloys using neutron diffraction, sans and sem methods N2 - Combination of high-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) Neutron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) have been used to study hardening precipitation in 2014Al and 2124Al alloys. Neutron diffraction experiment revealed presence of tetragonal CuAl2 Phase (θ/θ´ precipitates) in 2014Al alloy and orthorhombic CuMgAl2 Phase (S-precipitates) in 2124Al alloy. SEM image analysis revealed that the θ/θ´-precipitates have platelet morphology while the S-precipitates exhibit rod-like shapes. From SANS data analysis the characteristic dimensions of precipitate particles and their polydisperse distributions were estimated.
