Heat Treatment Optimization in Al-Cu-Mg-Si Alloys, with or without Prior Deformation

The properties of Al-Cu-Mg alloys simultaneously depend on dissolving the maximum amount of Cu and Mg in the solution treatment and on achieving optimal ageing. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect on an Al-Cu4.5-Mg1.5-Si0.75 alloy, manufactured by continuous casting and hot rolling until...
