Abstract In this study, Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys with high strength and ductility were successfully
prepared by wire arc additive manufacturing technology. Innovatively, the effect of composite …

Flexible metal forming processes are novel ways to meet the growing needs for maintaining
economic feasibility in mass production and customization. The flexible forming processes …

Abstract Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect often occurs in many alloy systems and leads to
flow stress variations. When precipitation occurs, the PLC behavior changes and its resultant …

The hole expansion formability of W-tempered aluminum 7075 sheet, which is prepared by
solution heat treatment and rapid cooling, is investigated comparatively with the peak aged …

Inhomogeneous plastic flow stresses are identified for the friction stir welded aluminum alloy
6061-T6 sheets using a new finite element-based virtual fields method (FE-VFM). The FE …

Influence of tempers on the hole-expansion formability of an AA7075 aluminum sheet is
investigated for-T6 (as-received) and-W tempers (super saturated by the solution heat …

In this study, the plastic deformation behavior at a large strain range, as well as the ductile
damage and fracture of aluminum alloy 2024-O materials, were investigated under quasi …

The mechanical behaviour of aluminium alloy 7475-T7351 along the three principal
directions (ie rolling, transverse and normal) are compared here at different rates and …

The synergy effect of quench rate and pre-strain prior to artificial aging heat treatment on
microstructure, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance, and mechanical property of a low …

Achieving dense coherent precipitates in 7xxx aluminum alloys during artificial aging to
attain high strength-ductility synergy remains a challenging task as they are unstable and …
