Shear band formation during plane strain compression of single crystals and polycrystals of
an Al-3 wt% Cu alloy was studied. X-ray and electron diffraction, optical microscopy, and …

The plastic behaviour of two recently developed Al–Cu–Li alloys with different Cu/Li ratios,
AA2198 and AA2196, was studied as a function of precipitation state by tensile tests, strain …

A detailed quantitative model for the strengthening of monolithic alloys and composites due
to precipitation strengthening, solution strengthening, grain and subgrain strengthening …

A variation of the Orowan equation is developed for aluminium alloys strengthened by
dispersed, deformation-resistant {100} α precipitate plates, and the quantitative effects of …

The present study examines the aging behavior of Al–Mg–Cu alloys based on the elastic
effects on the matrix due to coherent precipitates; these effects were followed by X-ray …

Stress aging of Al–Cu alloys was modeled to demonstrate the stress orienting effect of the θ
″/θ′-precipitate structures. The precipitation sequence of the Guinier–Preston (GP) …

The plastic deformation of micropillars is known to be affected by whether dislocations can
escape easily from the material volume, and the extent to which the dislocations mutually …

The strengthening mechanisms and precipitation behavior in AA2024 alloys with different
Cu/Mg ratios (3.18 and 2.48) and different levels of plastic deformation (5 and 15%) were …

Microalloying additions of Si are known to increase significantly the response to age
hardening of 2xxx series Al-Cu-Mg alloys, and commercial alloys such as 2618 are based …

The uniaxial compression test was used to assess an influence of the precipitate nature on
the flow stress, work hardening and texture of the Al–7% Si–1% Cu–0.5% Mg alloy, modified …
