“…The presence of different intermetallic phases in precipitation‐hardened Al‐alloys usually results from the presence of various micro‐alloying elements and adequate subsequent heat treatment applied to respective systems. Investigations of the relationships between the precipitation existing in the microstructure of the alloys and their mechanical properties have been conducted, and many important inroads have been made already (Bai, Liu, Hou, Zhao, & Xing, 2012; Khushaim, Boll, Seibert, Haider, & Al‐Kassab, 2015; Kim et al, 2016; Liu & Robertson, 2011). The local stresses under the elastic or Hook's Law approximation are below the yield strengths.…”
