RECRYSTALLIZATION, REFINEMENT, AND STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS FOR PRODUCTION OF ADVANCED HIGH STRENGTH METAL ALLOYS

摘要

This disclosure deals with a class of metal alloys with advanced property combinations applicable to metallic sheet production. More specifically, the present application identifies the formation of metal alloys of relatively high strength and ductility and the use of one or more cycles of elevated temperature treatment and cold deformation to produce metallic sheet at reduced thickness with relatively high strength and ductility.
