A three-step process, which involved solution treatment, stretching deformation at cryogenic
temperature, and artificial aging treatment, is a potential route to fabricate complex shaped …

Attempts to improve the strength of Gen3 Al–Li alloys without obviously deteriorating the
ductility have been directed towards enhancing the matrix precipitation of T 1 phase and …

A new ageing treatment method was developed in this work to improve the strength and
ductility of Al–Cu–Li alloy. Al–Cu–Li alloy treated via pre-deformation followed by double …

The age-forming technology of Al–Li alloy has caused considerable attention in recent
years. In this study, the effects of age-forming on microstructure, mechanical and corrosion …

Pre-rolling deformation is a preferable procedure in practice, compared to pre-stretching, to
improve the performances of the rolled Al–Cu–Li plates. In the present work, the different …

Abstract High-strength Al–Cu–Li alloys are increasingly attractive for aerospace
applications. The highest-strength Al–Cu–Li alloys require a series of high-temperature …

The effects of quench-induced precipitation on microstructure and mechanical properties of
7085 aluminum alloy were investigated by means of hardness test, tensile test, optical …

A novel treatment process that involves solution treatment, cryogenic pre-stretching, and
artificial aging was applied to strengthen Al-Cu-Li alloy without ductility sacrificing in this …

The effects of different ageing treatments on microstructure evolution, properties and fracture
are investigated in the present study. 2198 alloy exhibits strong ageing response during …
