Publication number: 20230099830Abstract: Described are aluminum alloy products that generally have a microstructure and composition that resists corrosion. This corrosion resistance, in turn, allows the aluminum alloy products to exhibit favorable bond durability performance, such as when adhesively bonded to another product. The corrosion resistance can be achieved by controlling the composition of the aluminum alloy, including the presence and/or concentration of certain intermetallic particles, such as ?-phase intermetallic particles and ?-phase intermetallic particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Theresa Elizabeth MacFarlane, Lasitha Cumaranatunge, Sazol Kumar Das, Yudie Yuan, Thomas J.

Patent number: 7624609Abstract: A cold rolling process for impressing a pattern on a surface of a sheet metal article involves passing the sheet article through a pair of rolls and engaging a patterning feature with isolated areas of a surface of the sheet article, at a localized pressure to plastically deform at least the surface of the sheet article. A rolling pressure is maintained on other areas of the sheet article that is less than the bulk elastic yield strength of the metal. A cold rolling apparatus is also described having a pair of rolls, each with partially cylindrical outer surfaces. The rolls have a gap between the cylindrical parts. One of the rolls has a localized surface region that is displaced relative to the surface of the roll. When the localized region is brought near the other roll, a spacing exists that is narrower than the gap. One of the rolls has a localized patterning feature that aligns with the localized surface region to impress a pattern into the sheet article.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Melville Douglas Ball, John Anthony Hunter, Gary J. Smith
