Influence of heat treatment on the microstructure, texture and formability of Al2024 aluminium alloy

We have investigated the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure, texture and formability of highstrength aluminium Al2024 sheets of gauge thicknesses 1.27 mm and 2.03 mm. Both optical and electron microscopy were employed to characterise the microstructure. Tensile tests performed at 0?, 45?...
