| Abstract Scope |
Al-Cu-Li alloys are used in aircraft fuselage and frame parts instead of titanium alloys due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance, high specific strength, and fatigue performance. In this study, samples of widely used 2050 aluminum alloy plates were taken and heated to 530°C as preheating. The heated samples were subjected to a 50% compression ratio at different deformation rates. The obtained samples underwent solution treatment at 520°C for 1 hour, followed by a quenching process in water at 45°C. Aging was performed at 155°C for 12 hours. The samples were examined using optical microscopy and SEM for microstructure investigation. Additionally, hardness and tensile tests were conducted on obtained samples to investigate mechanical properties. The results were compared with plates produced by hot rolling. As a result of the study, it was determined that effect of deformation rate on mechanical properties and microstructure was not as significant as that of temperature. |
