| Abstract Scope |
Annealing behavior of cold rolling sheets of a continuous casting (CC) Al-1.5Cu alloy by using tensile machine, optical & scanning electronic microscopes and X-ray diffraction method were evaluated and studied overall. Compared with AA2024, Si and Fe amounts were controlled at low level; Mn and Mg amounts were controlled at low limit of AA2024 alloy; Cu is selected at low level (1.1-2.2%) due to requirement of twain belt continuous cast processing. Compared to AA5xxx and AA3xxx alloys, material characteristic after annealing at different temperatures of cold rolling sheets of the Al-1.5Cu alloy is very different with some interesting findings, such as the precipitation and re-solid resolution of AlCu phase as well as different texture appearing and so on. The findings would affect potentially and importantly subsequent processing (such as solid solution heat treatment, quenching, forming, and aging) for application (replace AA5xxx-O sheet) to low cost auto forming parts or sheets. |
