100%
An Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy has a low-temperature yield stress of 600 MPa due to the precipitation strengthening effect imparted by the equilibrium q phase (Al2Cu) precipitates. Estimate the interparticle spacing and particle size in this alloy.
Given: density of α-solid solution 2,700 kg/m3 and density of q phase 4,430 kg/m3. Assume the Cu content in α-solid solution 0.5 wt% and the Cu content in the q phase 54%. Hint: You need to use the Orowan model of particle strengthening and the lever rule among other concepts.
