PROCESS FOR PREPARING LOW EARING ALUMINUM ALLOY STRIP ON STRIP CASTING MACHINE

摘要

There is described a process for fabricating high strength, improved formability, low earing aluminum strip stock from hot rolled aluminum strip. According to this process, the hot rolled strip is cold rolled in a first series of passes to an intermediate gauge. Then, it is flash annealed for not more than 90 seconds at a temperature of from about 350.degree.C to 500.degree.C.
