The effect of heat treatment involving water quenching, cooling of the quenched alloy in liquid nitrogen, a hold in liquid nitrogen, heating in hot mineral oil (thermal shock), and natural or artificial aging on the structure and properties of deformable aluminum alloy D16 is studied. The structure of the alloy is analyzed by optical and transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis. The effect of the heat treatments on the residual microstresses is determined by the method of drilling holes, and the mechanical properties of D16 are determined in tensile tests.
