Process for improving the hot workability of aluminum-magnesium alloys

摘要

A method of heat treating aluminum alloys of the aluminum- magnesium type to improve the hot workability of the alloys which consists essentially of homogenizing the alloys at a temperature from 950° to 1050° F for from 2 to 12 hours and slowly cooling said alloys to at least 800° F at a rate of less than 100° F per hour.
