  • Selective Grain Boundary Engineering
    Publication number: 20200024714
    Abstract: A process for grain boundary engineering of an aluminum alloy of AA5XXX series which includes steps of annealing the aluminum alloy at a first temperature of from about 350° C. to about 450° C.; deforming the annealed aluminum alloy to reduce the thickness by from about 2% to about 20% of the original thickness of the aluminum alloy; heat treating the deformed aluminum alloy at a second temperature from about 450° C. to about 550° C., and optionally sensitizing the heat treated alloy in one or more sensitizing steps. Aluminum alloys of the AA5XXX series treated by the process of the present invention are also provided.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: January 23, 2020
    Applicant: Drexel University
    Inventors: Mitra Lenore Taheri, Daniel Scotto D'Antuono, Joseph Hsieh
  • Annealing Process
    Publication number: 20190185979
    Abstract: An annealing process for treatment of an aluminum alloy of AA5XXX series which comprises steps of annealing the aluminum alloy at a first temperature of from about 350° C. to about 450° C. by a rate of temperature increase from about 0.1° C./s to about 0.5° C./s; and cooling down the annealed aluminum alloy to a temperature below 50° C. Aluminum alloys of the AA5XXX series treated by the annealing process of the present invention are also provided.
