young modulus for aluminium

[giamma109]

Hi to everybody,

I have a question: how change the young modulus of an aluminium alloy in consequence of work-hardening?

thanks

Young's modulus is an inherent physical property of the of the material and will NOT be changed by cold work or heat treatment.

Swall's statement is true for completely randomized microstructures. However, as elastic moduli vary with respect to crystallographic orientation, a highly textured material can have elastic moduli that differ from the those derived from a random microstructure.

Cory
