Ultra-fast bake-hardening response of Al-Mg-Si-Cu-Zn alloys with the assistance of heterogeneous nucleation

Mg-Si clusters or precipitates can make Al-Mg-Si alloys stronger, but the low bake-hardening response severely restricts their wide application in the automotive field. Here, we report a new strategy to significantly enhance the bake-hardening response of Al-Mg-Si-Cu-Zn alloys to the highest value o...
