Abstract

The precipitation sequence of an Al-Mg-Si alloy with silicon excess was determined between 150°C and 300°C by combining ThermoElectric Power measurements and Transmission Electron Microscopy observations. From these studies, an experimental Isothermal Transformation Curve could be proposed in the investigated temperature range. After calibration of a model of KWN type allowing the simultaneous precipitation of two types of metastable rod-shaped precipitates to be taken into account, the same type of curve could be obtained and the yield strength evolution of the alloy during isothermal ageing treatments could be predicted.
