Abstract: Solution heat treatment is performed on a blank to dissolve initial coarse secondary phases, to obtain a uniform solid solution microstructure. The blank subjected to the solution heat treatment is transferred into the temperature-controllable forming die to be stamped and quenched. During forming, the temperature and the pressure are further maintained for a period of time. The temperature of the forming die is adjusted to a second-step aging temperature for the second-step aging treatment. In a two-step aging temperature range, stress relaxation occurs while strengthening precipitates are rapidly precipitated, thereby improving strength and dimensional accuracy of the formed part. On the premise of ensuring quality of the formed part, employing stepped aging treatment shortens the aging cycle and reduces energy consumption in the production and manufacturing process.

Abstract: The invention provides a component formed of an aluminum alloy for use in a vehicle, for example an automotive vehicle component requiring high strength, light-weight, and a complex three-dimensional shape, and a method of manufacturing the component. The method begins by providing a blank formed of an aluminum alloy which is already solution heat treated and tempered, and thus has a temper designation of about T4. The method further includes heating the blank to a temperature of 150° C. to 350° C., preferably 190° C. to 225° C. The method next includes quickly transferring the blank to a hot or warm forming apparatus, and stamping the blank to form the complex three-dimensional shape. Immediately after the forming step, the component has a temper designation of about T6, but preferably not greater than T6, and thus is ready for use in the vehicle without any post heat treatment or machining.

Abstract: A method for forming a large metallic component, a friction stir welded component and a friction stir welded blank are provided. The method includes positioning a first metallic plate and a second metallic plate in an abutting arrangement. The first metallic plate and the second metallic plate have corresponding faying surfaces at a point of abutment. A backing plate is attached spanning the point of abutment adjacent the faying surfaces. The first metallic plate is friction stir welded to the second metallic plate to form a friction stir weld along the faying surfaces. The backing plate receives an end of a friction stir welding tool curing the friction stir welding. The backing plate is removed to form a welded blank. The welded blank is formed into a component form. The component is heat treated and aged to form the large metallic component. The friction stir weld in the welded blank has a stable microstructure having little or no abnormal grain growth during elevated temperature forming, heat treatment and aging.
