Abstract

The dissociation of extrinsic grain boundary dislocations in Al, Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Sn alloys was studied at various temperatures to examine the compositional effect on the dissociation process. It was found that both alloying elements (Mg and Sn) hinder the dissociation, however the effect of Sn is more significant even at a very low concentration due in part to grain boundary segregation.
