Sheets of 2195 aluminum-lithium alloy were solution-treated at 507°C for 30 min. One set was stretched to 3-5% in the 0°, 45°, and 90°angle with respect to the original rolling direction. Two other sets were rolled 6% reduction in thickness and 24% reduction in thickness in the 0°, 45°, and 90°angle with respect to the original rolling direction. All specimens were aged at 143°C for 36 h. A second group of samples was rolled at 24 and 50% reduction in thickness after a solution treatment of 507°C for 1 h prior to aging at 190°C for 24 h. Tensile specimens were machined from each sheet at 0°, 45°, and 90°angles to the original grain orientation. Tensile testing was used to determine the mechanical properties and anisotropic behavior of each condition. Rolling 6% reduction in thickness in the 45°orientation yielded anisotropy of 7.6% in the yield strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
