A microstructure-based model for describing strain softening during compression of Al-30%wt Zn alloy

A microstructural-based model, describing the plastic behavior of Al-30wt% Zn alloy, is proposed and the effect of solid solution decomposition, Orowan looping, twinning and grain refinement is analyzed. It is assumed that the plastic deformation process is dominated by strain-induced solute diffusi...
