Tensile and elastic properties of deformed heterogeneous aluminum alloys at room and elevated temperatures

Abstract

In this study we investigated the tensile and elastic properties of deformed binary AlNi, AlFe, and AlCu alloys containing 10-25 vol.% of second phase. Sheets and rods of the alloys exhibit an increase in Young's modulus of 15%-25%, and tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures comparable with those of conventional medium-strength wrought aluminum alloys. The elastic moduli of the phases were estimated. © 1994.
