Abstract

Abstract In the first part of this paper the author derives the mechanism by which the conduction electrons in pure aluminium are scattered when an external field is applied. Applying these results to dilute solid solutions of aluminium, it is possible to predict the change of the resistivity during ageing. Two alloys are considered here : duraluminium and aluminium-silver alloy in two different stages of ageing. In both cases the qualitative predictions of the theory are in agreement with experiment and even the quantitative results seem to be of the right order of magnitude.
