Abstract
In order to reveal and predict the strain hardening behaviors of metallic materials, mechanical properties of Cu-Al alloys processed by rolling were investigated by tensile tests. The microstructure evolution of Cu-Al alloys processed by rolling were characterized. The true stress-strain curves were fitted by an exponential strain-hardening (ESH) model. Based on the microscopic mechanism of dislocation growth and annihilation, the true stress strain curves were predicted through macroscopic mechanical properties. The strengthening effects on Cu-Al alloys of different methods were analyzed quantitively by hardening exponent z and saturation strength σs which were derived from the ESH model. The fundamental assumptions and physical meaning of parameters have been validated by investigating strain hardening behaviors of Cu-Al alloys. The limited applicable materials and future research of ESH model are also proposed for the further development. This study could provide guidance to understand work-hardening behavior and predict tensile performance of Cu-Al alloys.
