Summary Report on Metal Processing Research

摘要

This report summarizes the findings of research conducted on metal processing over a two year period. The research included the study of the occurrence of the central burst defect in 7075 Al, the effect of hydrogen on the flow stress of Ti6Al-4V and other titanium alloys (CP-Ti, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn) and the design and use of a high sensitivity load cell. Information derived from this and past research was applied to the processing of numerous metal working operations of other alloys. (Author)
