AB  - The investigation of mechanical properties of aluminum alloys by using express-methods is discussed in the present paper. Such properties are hardness, elastic modulus E and yield strength Rp0.2. Tensile test with extensometer and automated ball indentation test (ABI) with 5 mm ball indenter performed in order to obtain the correlations for the basic mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. The results of newly developed method of revealing the microstructure, which involves plastic deformation, show its potential of applicability in engineering practice when measuring the microstructural and submicrostructural features.
