Evolution of precipitate and precipitate/matrix interface in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (-Ag) alloys

The first-principles study of interfacial bonding strength and segregation behavior of alloyed elements at the η(MgZn2)/Al interface

“…These processes exert a pivotal effect in governing the mechanical properties of Al alloys. 23,24 Consequently, comprehending the interface characteristics and the mechanism for interface strengthening through first-principles methods is crucial for strengthening Al alloys. 25,26 In addition, numerous studies indicate that applying specific solute atoms is conductive to improving the quality and stability of Al alloys, tied to segregation behavior of solute atoms at the metal/matrix interface and grain boundary.…”
