Enhanced aging kinetics in Al-Mg-Si alloys by up-quenching

Thermal treatments are important for controlling the microstructure and mechanical properties of precipitation-hardened alloys. Here, an up-quenching process enhances clustering kinetics in an Al-Mg-Si alloy, attributed to retained high temperature vacancies assisting diffusion at low temperature.
