Secondary ageing and formability of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy (2024) in W and under-aged tempers
AA2024, a high-strength aluminum wrought alloy, is widely used in the production of aircraft components, for example, frames and stringers. While the alloy is relatively soft and formable in the solution heat treated and quenched state (W temper), rapid onset of natural ageing increases hardness and...
