Solution strengthening and age hardening capability of Al-Mg-Mn alloys with small additions of Cu

Nine Al-(1-3)Mg-(0-0.4)Cu-0.15Si-0.25Mn (in wt%) alloys with potential applications in both packaging and automotive industries have been investigated. Tensile testing showed that solution strengthening is in good approximation linearly proportional to the Mg content. Mechanical testing and microstr...
