  • Artificial aging control of aluminum alloys
    Publication number: 20060076093
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mathematical approach to constructing a model of artificially aging to accurately calculate the value of a property in an aluminum alloy product achieved by aging the alloy. The method includes developing a formula having two independent time and temperature evolving expressions, aging the product to achieve the property by heating the product over an aging period determined by the formula and terminating the heating when the property is achieved according to a mathematical formula. The property is calculated as a function of time and product temperature measured over the aging period. Calculation of the property includes integration of the thermal effects on the product over the entire aging period.
