Nitridation of Al-Mg-Si alloys through dynamic heating

Nitridation behaviour of Al-Mg-Si alloys as studied as a function of temperature by means of thermogravimetry method. A reactive gas, N2-4%H2 at a rate of 10 ml/min was purged into the thermogravimetry analyser chamber. The Al alloys were heated from 25°C to 625°C at the heating rate of 15°C/min and...
