Abstract

The yield strength-elongation relationship in cast Al-Cu-Mg alloys (206) castings has been investigated by analyzing 13 datasets from the literature on premium quality castings. The data representing the elongation for a given yield strength have been found to fall within an envelope, the top limit of which represents the ductility potential of Al-Cu-Mg alloy castings. Moreover, using the fracture toughness equation by Hahn and Rosenfield, estimated intrinsic fracture toughness values have been found to be consistent with the data reported in the literature.
