Abstract

A survey of the yield strength and hardness of copper-based materials shows a progressive lowering of the strength with respect to the extrapolation of the Hall-Petch relation as the length scale of the microstructure decreases. The overall trend can be modeled by scaling the elastic screening length for the dislocation line tension with the microstructural length scale, as proposed by Scattergood and Koch. © 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.
