Effects of creep-aging temperature and external stress Revised 17 April 2015 on mechanical properties are discussed. It is found that the mechanical properties of the studied Al– Accepted 28 April 2015 Cu–Mg alloy are strongly sensitive to the creep-aging parameters. The two-stage creep-aging processing Available online 29 April 2015 can change the characteristics of aging precipitates and dislocations, which greatly affects the mechanical properties of the studied
