Examining the microhardness evolution and thermal stability of an AlâMgâSc alloy processed by high-pressure torsion at a high temperature

An Alâ3% Mgâ0.2% Sc alloy was solution treated and processed through 10 turns of high-pressure torsion (HPT) at 450 K. Afterwards, the HPT-processed alloy was annealed for 1 h at temperatures ranging from 423 to 773 K and its mechanical properties and microstructural evolution were examined using...
