Intermediate temperature thermomechanical processing of Al 2090 for superplasticity
Abstract
The Al-Cu-Li phase diagram indicates that during thermomechanical processing of Al 2090 at 300 C both T(1) and T(2) phases will precipitate. Following work on Al-Mg-X alloys, it is possible that TMP at such temperatures might promote intragranular formation of these phases and promote microstructural refinement during recrystallization. Microstructural analyses reveal that the T(2) phase in Al 2090 may play a similar role to the beta-phase in Al-Mg-X alloys during microstructural evolution. Mechanical property data indicate that Al 2090 can be moderately (215-245 percent) superplastic at 370 C following processing at 300 C.
