Study of the Structure and Properties of Long-Length Wide Sheets of Aluminum Alloy V95pchT2 Met. Sci. Heat Treat. (IF 0.42) Pub Date : 2020-10-08 T. A. Nechaikina, A. L. Ivanov, D. V. Gusev, O. Yu. Kozlova
A comprehensive research was conducted to study long-length (> 10 m), wide (> 2 m), 7 mm thick sheets of high-strength aluminum alloy V95pch after quenching and “softening” aging according to T2 temper conditions. It is shown that a homogeneous (length- and widthwise) structure, typical for such type of semi-finished products made of alloy V95pch, temper T2, can be sustained in wide, long-length sheets
