Age-hardening of high pressure die casting AlMg alloys with Zn and combined Zn and Cu additions

This study investigates the age-hardening of AlMg alloys with Zn and combined Zn and Cu additions. Two AlMg5Mn1 alloys modified with Zn and Cu were processed by high pressure die casting (HPDC) and different heat treatment strategies. Single step artificial aging, artificial aging with pre-aging and...
