A First-Principles Study of the Cu-Containing β″ Precipitates in Al-Mg-Si-Cu Alloy
The nanostructured β″ precipitates are critical for the strength of Al-Mg-Si-(Cu) aluminum alloys. However, there are still controversial reports about the composition of Cu-containing β″ phases. In this work, first-principles calculations based on density functional theory were used to investigate...
