- [Why Are Aluminum Alloys Harder Than Pure Aluminum?](https://www.xcmcnc.com/resources/aluminum-alloy-hardness/): Pure aluminum is soft because dislocations can move relatively easily through its crystal lattice. Alloying makes aluminum harder by introducing solute atoms that distort the lattice and hard intermetallic or second-phase particles that obstruct deformation. Heat-treatable alloys gain additional strength when solution treatment, quenching, and aging produce a fine distribution of precipitates.
