Microstructure and texture evolution of 6016 aluminum alloy during hot compressing deformation

This paper presents the main achievements of a research project aimed at investigating the applicability of the hot stamping technology to non heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 5052 H32 and heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 6016 T4P after six months natural aging. The formability and mechanical properties of 5052 H32 and 6016 T4P aluminum alloy sheets after six months natural aging under different temperature conditions were studied, the processing characteristics and potential of the two aluminium alloy at room and elevated temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the 6016 aluminum alloy sheet exhibit better mechanical properties at room temperature. 5052 H32 aluminum alloy sheet shows better formability at elevated temperature, and it has higher potential to increase formability by raising the temperature.

Study on the Formability of Aluminium Alloy Sheets at Room and Elevated Temperatures

Seven property demands for aluminum alloy auto sheet are systematically summarized and proposed,which could make the project of research and developing about aluminum alloy auto sheet have a obvious target.Typical chemical composition,mechanical properties and formability of aluminum alloy auto sheets are introduced.The main factors effected the properties are demonstrated.The pre-treatment technology and its importance to guarantee the performance of the auto sheet are deeply discussed.The important research contents about the sheet are pointed out and the application is described.Reducing cost and price of the sheet and deeply developing application study are important work for expending application of aluminum alloy sheets.
