Modelling mechanical properties for non-hardenable aluminium alloys

A range of mechanical properties have been investigated for non-hardenable aluminium alloys. Commercially pure aluminium, Al–Mn, and Al–Mg alloys in five tempers have been covered. In the models solid solution, particle strengthening and work hardening have been taken into account. Ab-initio calculations of the size and modulus misfit parameters that are needed in the solid solution hardening model have been performed. In accordance with the...
