Multiscale modelling of precipitation hardening in Al-Cu alloys: dislocation dynamics simulations and experimental validation

R. Santos-Güemes, B. Bellón, G. Esteban-Manzanares +3

The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interactions were analyzed in an Al-Cu alloy containing a homogeneous dispersion of ${\theta }^{\prime }$ precipitates by means of discrete dislocation dyn…
