Effect of plastic deformation on the precipitation sequence of 2024 aluminum alloy

Microstructural Evolution and Strengthening Mechanisms in a 2xxx Series Modified Al Alloy.

“…The 2xxx Al series (Al-Cu-Mg) is widely used for the aircraft and aerospace industry, it has low density and presents excellent mechanical properties such as high fracture toughness, high tensile strength, and good damage tolerance. Identifying and understanding the strengthening mechanisms of these alloys to improve their strength, is the aim of several research works [1,2]. At present study is analyzed the microstructure and the microhardness of a 2xxx modified Al alloy to identify the strengthening mechanisms involved.…”
