Determine the increase in the open spacing between precipitate particles that occurs when the 2014 aluminum alloy shown in Figure 7.17 is aged for 1000 h at 149°C (300°F), relative to the value at peak strength that is calculated in Example Problem 7.5. Assume that the as-quenched yield strength of 100 MPa is the value of ?0, that the lattice parameter of FCC aluminum is 0.404 nm, and that the shear modulus of this alloy is equal to that of aluminum given in Table 6.1.
