Al-6XXX alloys, with composition Al-Mg-Si-Cu, are widely used in many manufacturing processes and play a major role in the automotive industry due to their excellent machinability. The optimisation of these alloys for lightweighting and recyclability can be carried out through the investigation of the thermomechanical aging process. Under the supervision of academics and researchers at the University of Oxford, Brunel University, and Constellium – a global manufacturer of aluminium products and systems, I’ll be analysing the microstructure of novel Al alloys. Specifically, I’ll be looking closely at clustering and precipitate mechanisms with atom probe tomography. Along with complimentary advanced characterisation techniques, I aim to compare changes within the thermal aging process such as artificial aging time and deformation.
