Solid solution hardening has so far been investigated through the flow stress evaluated by tensile tests. The flow stress depends on two factors, ie mobility and multiplication rate of dislocations, and thus it is difficult to distinguish the effects of the two factors on solid solution hardening. On the other hand, mechanical properties controlled only by the mobility of dislocations can be investigated through measurements of amplitude-dependent internal friction, because internal friction is measured during elastic resonant vibration of specimens where the multiplication of dislocations does not take place. Such an investigation of mechanical properties has not often been attempted on the basis of internal friction measurements. Bauer et al.(1–3) measured the amplitude-dependent internal friction in monocrystalline Cu alloys, but they did not discuss the mechanical properties corresponding to macroscopic stress-strain relations from the standpoint of solid solution hardening. Asano (4) proposed a method to evaluate the microplastic strain from data of the amplitude-dependent internal friction where specimens are subject to macroscopically elastic deformation. According to this method, the microplastic strain was firstly evaluated from the internal friction data in monocrystalline Cu-Mg alloys by Polotskiy et al.(5). Later, the method has been applied to several monocrystalline and polycrystalline materials (6–9). In a recent year, Lebedev and Pilecki (10) studied the mechanical properties of polycrystalline silicon bronze for engineering use.In the present study, we evaluated plastic strain as a function of stress from data of the amplitudedependent internal friction in polycrystalline Cu alloys under the condition that the flow stress is controlled only by the mobility of dislocations. The polycrystalline alloys were employed as specimens in our measurements, because the amplitude dependence of internal friction is too structure-sensitive to show reproducible results in highly pure monocrystals. In addition, the application of the present evaluation of plastic strain to engineering materials is expected as a new non-destructive strength test. The solute elements were restricted within IVb group and the concentration was fixed at 0.3% in order to examine the dependence of flow stress on the size misfit between solute and solvent atoms.
