Conclusions
-
1.
The optimal combination of fracture toughness, fatigue limit, and strength characteristics of D16 alloys can be obtained from semifinished products with a primarily unrecrystallized structure and with the copper and magnesium concentrations near the lower limit, and possibly by reducing iron and silicon impurities.
-
2.
The amount of manganese should be minimal but sufficient to obtain a preferentially unrecrystallized structure under given conditions of hot deformation. The deformation during straightening should be held to the minimum within the limits of the given OST.
