Optimizing Heat Treatment Parameters for the W-Temper Forming of 7xxx Series Aluminum Alloys

A major challenge in processing 7xxx series aluminum alloys is their limited formability at room temperature. In this paper, for the alloys EN AW-7020 and EN AW-7075, various variants of the W-temper forming process are investigated. For both alloys, a good cold formability and a high strength after...
