Summary: This study systematically investigates the work hardening and strain delocalization in Al-5 wt.% CuO composite with intragranular nanoscale Al2O3 reinforcements. The results show that the geometrically necessary dislocation pile-ups at intragranular Al2O3 result in kinematic hardening, while the plastic relaxation dislocations generated by the release of internal stress contribute to isotropic hardening. The intragranular Al2O3 plays important roles in improving strain partitioning, stress transfer, and strength matching, contributing to the strength-ductility synergy in Al-5CuO.
