Units
Condition
- Condition
- source-identified EN AW-7108A research-alloy variant after solution treatment and water quench
- Temper
- laboratory solution-treated and water-quenched state; no registered temper stated
- Heat treatment
- two-step homogenization: 450-490 degC for 3 h, then 490 degC for 9 h; solution anneal 480 degC for 30 min; water quench
- Product form
- vertically continuously cast billet extruded as a double hollow-chamber profile
- Thickness / diameter range
- source profile geometry shown in Figure 1; numerical wall dimensions not stated in text/table
- Test direction
- profile-top microstructure samples; mechanical direction not applicable
- Processing route
- vertical continuous casting; two-step homogenization; extrusion at 490 degC and 4 mm/s ram speed; solution anneal and water quench
- Temperature range
- Composition and post-process dispersoid measurements are not supplied as temperature-dependent properties.
- Notes
- The two cards preserve the article's A1 and A2 research-alloy identities and do not merge their measured populations.
