Abstract
New observations of time dependent magnetization of an Al-1.6%Mg2Si alloy over a range of constant temperatures between 250K and 310K are presented. The post solution heat treatment time variations of magnetization at 300 and 310K increased with time out to about 1300 minutes, whereas those at 280 and 290K showed minima around 150 and 50 minutes, respectively. The magnetization at 250K initially decreased slightly and then became constant with time. The observed time variations of magnetization are explained in terms of clustering reactions of the Mg, Si and vacancies.
