Abstract
Three types of binary aluminium-lithium alloy are tested : the solid solution at 0.7 wt % Li and alloys at 2.5 wt % Li with under- and overcritical δ' precipitates. Symmetrical torsion tests are run on tube shape specimens. The results display mechanical hysteresis and hardening-softening ; for one alloy some instabilities appear. A temporary modelization is made in the frame of the discrete memory constitutive scheme.
