Tensile test micro specimens (gauge section 780 × 260 × 130 μm 3 ) made of aluminum bronze were produced by vacuum pressure casting. Two semicircular notches of radii ranging between 5 and 45 μm were located in the middle of the gauge length. These were tested under quasi static tensile conditions with a micro universal testing device. Results show that micro specimens are as sensitive to notch effect as macroscopic specimens.
