Martensite in solid solution/preciptation heat treatment
Hello, Probably a bit of a noob question here, hope you don't mind. I'm reading somewhere that the first step in precipitation hardening is a solid solution quench process that leaves the alloy in a soft and ductile state. Hold on, I thought quenching a solid solution in the a-phase produces...- Angus101

All properties similar apart from Modulus - Why?
Hi there, I'm currently running tensile tests between two pieces of 1050 Aluminum in non-hardened (80MPa) states. One piece has failed in service, the other has not. I am measuring UT, Yield, Elongation and Youngs Modulus. The UT and yields are similar between both, but the elongation is...- Angus101
