Abstract

The work hardening behavior of an Al-3Cu-0.05Sn (wt %) alloy was studied using tensile tests and Bauschinger tests. Emphasis is placed on the influence of the precipitation state (number density, size distribution and volume fraction) and separating the isotropic and kinematic components of the work hardening.
