INFLUENCE OF MICROSTRUCTURAL FEATURES ON THE FORMABILITY OF ALUMINIUM ALLOYS.
Abstract
The formability of some aluminum sheet alloys is discussed in terms of the elements in solid solution, constituent and dispersoid particles, age-hardening precipitates and grain and cell boundaries. The importance of the influence of these components on the mode of deformation is emphasized. Microstructural features that support continued general plasticity and those that increase the tendency toward strain localization and fracture events are …
