This investigation revealed that the artificial aging has a positive effect on the precipitation kinetic. The activation energy of the precipitation process was calculated using Kissinger model. The result of this study showed a change in hardness values and in the activation energy for all precipitated phases. The hardness has high values at the higher aging temperature. The activation energy of the metastable phase 13＂ is determined as 41.55, which indicates that the formation of this phase is uncomplicated during artificial aging.展开更多
