Mechanical Behaviors Of various Cu-Al Alloys
Addition of Cu in Al • Cu-Al Alloys typically contain 2 to 10% copper. The copper allows the material to generally have the following: • facilitates precipitation hardening • increase in strength • Reduce ductility • Resist corrosion
Effect of 2nd Phase precipitate • Tensile strength increases first, then decreases due to appearance of θ' pptn. Phases.
Anisotropy effect on Stress-Strain Curve • A single crystal and a polycrystalline Al-Cu alloy, have different stress strain curve. • Crystal anisotropy was reduced by the introduction of the precipitates in Al-Cu singe crystals
Strength Comparison • Yield Strength
