An aluminum alloy with 4 wt % copper is to be precipitation-hardened. The alloy is solution-treated and quenched, and after the quench the shear yield strength is 38 × 106 Pa. Assume that the copper atoms remain in solid solution after the quench. The alloy is then artificially aged to a shear yield strength of 180 × 106 Pa. Determine the spacing between the precipitate particles that could produce this increase in yield strength. The shear modulus of this alloy is 27 × 109 Pa, the lattice parameter (a) of the aluminum alloy is 0.404 × 10-9 m, and aluminum is FCC with an atom at each lattice site.
