Deformation and fracture studies in aluminium alloys

The research is concerned with the problem of embrittlement in fully aged alloys of the H.30 type (Al-Mg-Si). These alloys fracture in a brittle intergranular fashion at low strains but when small amounts of manganese (~ 0.5wt%) are added, intergranular failure is suppressed and the ductility of the...
