A model for the yield strength of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys

A model for the yield strength of multi-component alloys is presented and applied to overaged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys (7xxx series). The model is based on an approximation of the strengthening due to precipitate bypassing during precipitate coarsening and takes account of ternary and higher order systems...
