This work investigates the influence of erbium (Er) content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of T6 state AA6061 sheets. The findings reveal that nanoscale Al(Fe, Mn)Si particles are the main factors hindering dislocation motion and grain boundaries (GBs) migration...
