The effect of alloying element on the age hardening behavior in an Al-Mg-Si alloy is studied, focusing on the role of vacancy.Al-0.6mass% Mg-1.0mass% Si alloys containing Ag or Sn element, which has large solute-vacancy binding energies, were solution treated at 773 K, quenched, and then aged at room temperature.Further artificial aging at 443 K for 1.8 ks was performed directly after natural aging.The aging behavior was investigated by Vickers hardness test.Microstructure was characterized by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS).The addition of these elements to the present alloy delays its natural age hardening.
