In order to investigate the effect of quenching rate on the clustering kinetics during natural aging (NA), high purity Al-Mg-Si alloys are quenched to different temperature and media. In-situ Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) and In-situ resistivity measurements at room temperature were then performed. It is found that four stages of changes in positron lifetime are directly observed. The quenching rate influences the first decrease of the lifetime during NA. The influence is larger for samples with lower solute content. On the other hand, a first decrease in the resistivity is observed in all alloys before the increase that is due to clustering of solute atoms. The amplitude of the decrease is more significant for samples with lower solute content and lower quenching rate. The first decrease in the positron lifetime and resistivity is discussed in terms of the interaction of vacancy and solute atoms.
