Abstract

The strength and extent of elongation of AA2024 sheets should be improved to realize the fabrication of lightweight components. We prepared high-performance AA2024 strips following a combination of (low-temperature pre-aging + cryorolling + aging) processes and studied their mechanical properties and microstructures. The results showed that the ultimate tensile strength of the material prepared by this process reached 631 MPa, and 10% elongation could be achieved. The microstructure reveals that the process of pre-aging can significantly improve the dislocation density (~ 47.5%) after cryorolling and then improve the strength of the AA2024 sheets following the dislocation strengthening mechanism. It is also found that the cryorolled AA2024 sheets exhibit the \(\gamma \)-fiber texture, similar to asymmetric rolling. Finally, we calculated the yield strength increment of the material and discussed its strengthening source.
