Aluminum Alloy Stamping with a First Warm Step and a Second Cold Step

This paper describes a way to simultaneously improve the formability and final strength of 6xxx aluminum alloys by doing a two-step stamping process, namely a warm forming step followed by a cold forming step

Continuous Casting of Multi-Alloy Metal Products and Related Methods

Described are multi-alloy metal products formed by a continuous casting system, as well as methods of continuously casting multi-alloy metal products. The disclosed multi-alloy metal product includes a plurality of layers of metallurgically bonded together metal alloys. The layers can be distributed along the thickness of the metal product or along the width of the metal product. The disclosed continuous casting system includes a plurality of injectors configured to simultaneously inject a plurality of metal alloys into a casting cavity to form the multi-alloy metal product
