Abstract
Tension tests were used to study the high temperature behaviour of commercial purity aluminium-copper alloys containing 0 to 33 wt.% Cu. The strength inflection temperature is mainly affected by the CuAl2 content of the alloys and by the method of testing. The rule of mixtures correctly anticipates the hardness of two phase alloys but not the tensile strength unless the alloys yield before fracture.
