Patent number: 11788178Abstract: Provided herein are highly-formable aluminum alloys and methods of making such alloys. The method of preparing aluminum alloys described herein can include a low final cold reduction step and/or an optional inter-annealing step to produce randomly distributed crystallographic texture components that produce an isotropic aluminum alloy product exhibiting improved formability and deep drawability. The methods described herein result in aluminum alloy microstructures having a balance of alpha fibers and beta fibers that promote improved formability of aluminum alloy sheets. The resulting improvements in quality allow for shaping processes with reduced rates of spoilage.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Sazol Kumar Das, Matthew Josef Heyen, ChangOok Son, Rashmi Ranjan Mohanty, Guillaume Florey
