Description

Carta and co-authors test how heat treatment changes a hot-rolled aluminum alloy called AA2017. Plates four millimeters thick were heated at 500 degrees for two or six hours. Samples were then cooled in water or in air, and aged at 175 degrees for eight hours.

The team checked structure with light and electron microscopes and tested hardness and strength. Pull tests ran along both the rolling and cross directions. The best strength came from six hours of heating, water cooling, and aging. Break tests showed mostly ductile failure, with tiny voids that grew and joined.
