Effect of Low-Temperature Thermomechanical Treatment on the Structure and Mechanical, Fatigue and Corrosion Characteristics of Sheets from an Alloy of the Al - Mg - Si - Cu - Zn System

摘要

The effect of deformation on the structure, strength and fatigue properties, stresses on the surface and sensitivity to intercrystalline corrosion of sheets from alloy 1370 of the Al -Mg - Si - Cu - Zn system with one-side cladding is investigated. Application of deformation to sheets of alloy 1370 between the stages of artificial aging lowers the depth of penetration of ICC (a parts per thousand currency sign 0.10 mm) and raises the fatigue characteristics (by up to a factor of 2) at a high level of mechanical properties.
