Hardness vs Strength Aluminum Alloys
Hardness vs Strength Aluminum Alloys
(OP)
For Steels I am conversant with the correlation of HB, HRC, Vickers, etc -- vs -- UTS.
Where can I find a similar correlation for Aluminum?
I have Vol. 1 and 2 of 8th Ed Metals Hdbk, access at work to MIl-Hbk-5H, and on-line access to ASM Desk editions but so far have not found anything but have not made a thorough search.
ASTM?

RE: Hardness vs Strength Aluminum Alloys
I was thumbing thru ASM Metals Handbook, Desk Edition (2nd Edition) the other day looking for hardness conversions and thought I saw a hardness/strength table for aluminum alloys.

Thanks again.
I am still interested to know if ASTM ties this down explicitly. At this time I am only interested in wrought Aluminum products.

I worked for a local aircraft sheet metal parts manufacturer who routinely hardness tested a coupon taken from incoming material. I plan to talk with their quality person to learn why their customers require these tests and what the tests are supposedly validating.
