This paper presents the main achievements of a research project aimed at investigating the applicability of the hot stamping technology to non heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 5052 H32 and heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 6016 T4P after six months natural aging. The formability and mechanical properties of 5052 H32 and 6016 T4P aluminum alloy sheets after six months natural aging under different temperature conditions were studied, the processing characteristics and potential of the two aluminium alloy at room and elevated temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the 6016 aluminum alloy sheet exhibit better mechanical properties at room temperature. 5052 H32 aluminum alloy sheet shows better formability at elevated temperature, and it has higher potential to increase formability by raising the temperature.

In this study, a twin-roll casting sheet of 6061 aluminum alloy was cooled using furnace, asbestos, air, wind and water. The effect of cooling rate on the microstructure and properties of twin-roll casting 6061 aluminum alloy sheet were studied. Optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, microhardness tester and universal tensile machine were used to observe the microstructure and properties of twin-roll casting sheet of 6061 aluminum alloy. The results show that the higher the cooling rate, the smaller the grain size of the alloy and the smaller the number of precipitated phases in the matrix. Uniform grain size of the alloy could be obtained at a stable cooling rate. The hardness, tensile strength and elongation of the twin-roll casting sheet increased with cooling rate. Under wind cooling condition, the twin-roll casting sheet demonstrated excellent comprehensive performance, i.e., 88 MPa of yield strength, 178 MPa of tensile strength and 15% of elongation, respectively. A quantitative Hall–Petch relation was established to predict the yield strength of 6061 twin-roll casting sheets with different grain sizes and cooling rate.

With the development of lightweight vehicles, aluminum alloy sheets are increasingly used in the automotive field. However, the aluminum alloy sheet has poor forming performance at room temperature. Therefore, how to improve the sheet metal forming performance of aluminum alloy sheet has become one of the current research hotspots. In this paper, the effects of different lubricants on the deep drawing forming properties of 6061 aluminum alloy sheets were studied by cupping experiments. The effects of lubricants on the deep drawing of sheet metal forming and the wall thickness of cups after deep drawing were explored. The results show that under the condition of drawing speed of 3MPa and 200mm/min, the ultimate drawing ratio of the sheet under oil lubrication is 1.92, and the PTFE film is 2.16. Grease and graphite lubrication are respectively 2.12 and 2.03, using PTFE film lubrication can increase by about 10% contrast with the oil lubrication. The measurement of the wall thickness of the cup under the forming limit state shows that the position with the largest reduction rate appears in the rounded transition zone, and the wall portion of the cylindrical member increases with the height of the wall, and the thickness from the bottom of the cup to the bottom of the cup. The edges all show a trend of decreasing first and then increasing.
