EFFECTS OF FEATHER CRYSTALS IN THE MACROSTRUCTURE ON EARING BEHAVIOR AND ELOXAL STRUCTURE OF SHEETS OF PURE ALUMINUM (in German)

OSTI ID:4802306

The as-cast structure of d.c.-cast aluminum ingots sometimes shows feather-like crystals. The influence of this type of crystals on the earing behavior and on the surface markings after anodizing was investigated on Al 99.5- sheets of 2 mm thickness. Feather-like crystals gave rise to more irregular and higher earings in all cases. Hot and afterwards cold rolled sheets showed markings on the anodized surface, which were intensified by feather-like crystals in the ingot. Extruding prior to hot rolling suppressed these markings completely, but did not affect the earing behavior. (auth)
