Abstract:Warm forming has been shown to be an effective way to increase the formability of various aluminum sheet alloys. If applied to precipitation hardenable alloys, aging and/or coarsening may occur during heating and/or forming processes. As such, there is a potential to leverage the warm forming process to artificially age precipitation hardenable alloys. In this study, the aging characteristics of a pre-aged Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy (designated AA6013-PA and comprising a 4 h, 100 °C pre-aging cycle following solutioniz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
