The effect of friction stir processing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AF/C458 aluminum lithium alloy
Aluminum-lithium alloys have been under development for lightweight - high strength aerospace structures but implementation has been slowed significantly because of poor short transverse fracture toughness and brittle intergranular delamination cracking. The alloy AF/C458 (now designated AA 2099) ha...
