Abstract
The influence of the initial precipitation microstructure, as produced by various treatments, has been investigated in the past years in several Al alloys. However, the results obtained so far have been inconclusive or contradictory. The working hypothesis to be tested in the present work is that the initial dislocation density governs the critical strain behavior. For this purpose, the influence of prestrains performed in different conditions is examined and discussed in simple terms.
