C.; Zaggia, S.Context. Stellar evolution models predict that internal mixing should cause some sodium overabundance at the surface of red giants more massive than similar to 1.5-2.0 M-circle dot. The surface aluminium abundance should not be affected. Nevertheless, observational results disagree about the presence and/or the degree of Na and Al overabundances. In addition, Galactic chemical evolution models adopting different stellar yields lead to very different predictions for the behavior of [Na/Fe] and [Al/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. Overall, the observed trends of these abundances with metallicity are not well reproduced.
