Summary Report On Investigation of Metal Processing Operations.

Abstract

This report summarizes the findings of several investigations involving the influence of process variables on the production of shapes with specified geometry, controlled microstructure and controlled structural integrity. The studies include the room temperature strengthening influence of grain boundary and subgrain boundary effects resultant from deformation of aluminum alloys; the microstructure and mechanical properties of extrusion consolidated 7075 Al powder; evaluation procedures for determining characteristics of workpiece coatings for isothermal forging; and the development and evaluation of separation-lubrication substances for titanium isothermal forging operations. Information derived from these investigations was applied to the processing of numerous experimental metalworking operations related to other alloy and processing development programs of interest to the Air Force and other government agencies.
