The impact of the initial phase composition of alloys was evaluated, in particular, the content of Cu, Mn, and Mg in aluminum alloys D16ChATW, 2024-T351 and aluminum alloy T, which in its physical and mechanical characteristics is close to alloy 6013. The impact was evaluated on the effects manifested by yield sites that occur on aluminum alloys that were subject to the dynamic non-equilibrium processes (DNPs) at the expense of impact-oscillatory loading of different intensities under conditions of static tensioning, The one-time DNP, to which the investigated aluminum alloys were subjected at the pre-set levels of elastic strain followed by static tensioning, was found to cause yield sites formation. This is due to self-organization of the alloy structure, which contributes to alloy plasticization. The initial phase alloys composition impact on the yield sites, which occurs when impulse energy of a different intensity is applied to the alloys, was analyzed. The specimens from the aluminum alloys undergoing DNPs of the same level were compared. This made it possible to conclude that alloys D16ChATW and 2024-T351, which have a higher content of Cu, Mn, and Mg, have longer yield sites upon subsequent static tensioning. On the basis of the experimental results, in particular, physical studies, the authors derived a physical and mathematical model of the yield sites that appear after DNPs.
