Popis: Solution treatment and quenching can strengthen magnesium-lithium-aluminium alloys, but this strength decreases with ageing. Here, the authors show this is due to semi-coherent nanoparticle precipitation followed by coarsening, and control the lattice mismatch to stabilise the microstructure.
