We experimentally investigated the nanostructuring effect on the elastic properties of aluminum alloy AMg6 (Al–Mg–Mn system). The n-AMg6 nanostuctured specimens were prepared from a commercial polycrystalline alloy by refining and homogenizing a mixture of small chips of the alloy in a planetary mill. The resulting product consists of 200-500-micron agglomerates of nanoparticles with average nanoparticle size ∼ 40–60 nanometer according to the X-ray analysis. The compacted nanopowder was extruded at a temperature of 300°C with a reduction of cross-sectional area at least 4 times to 90 mm diameter. High resolution transmission electron microscopy studies confirmed the presence of the nanostructure with a grain size of ∼60 nanometers. For the experiments, nine parallelepiped shape specimens of 20×20×40 mm{sup 3} size were cut from the central and peripheral parts of the n-AMg6 rod. We measured of the second-order and third-order elastic coefficients of the obtained samples by ultrasonic method. The same measurements were made on specimens of the primary AMg6 alloy for comparison.
