Summary: | The development of aluminum-lithium alloys for aerospace applications requires a thorough understanding of how processing and product geometry impact their microstructure, texture and mechanical properties. The anisotropy of the mechanical properties is in part related to the deformation texture formed during thermo-mechanical processing. In this study, two different extrusions of Al-Li 2099 T83 were characterized, a cylindrical extrusion and an integrally stiffened panel (ISP). A model is proposed to predict mechanical properties and their anisotropy as a function of the fiber texture. Furthermore, the volume fraction of precipitates was measured in zones of high anisotropy (cylindrical extrusion) and low anisotropy (ISP). Results show that there is no significant difference between the two parts concerning volume fraction of precipitates. |
