Aluminium Heat Treatment and Times
Hi,
Would anybody have any information of heat treatment temperatures and times for formed Aluminium, for example after forming 2024-T0 in the case of Elevator ribs? Thanks in advance. |

Re: Aluminium Heat Treatment and Times
Herr Schmitt,
I've enclosed a scan of a page that answers your question. It describes the annealing and hardening processes used by German aircraft manufacturers for the heat treatment of Duralumin (95% Aluminium, 4% Copper, 1% Magnesium & Manganese.) Source: "Wir wiederholen: Metallflugzeugbau - 1000 Fragen und Antworten aus Werkstoffkunde, Arbeitskunde, Flugzeugkunde und Fachrechnen" by Dr Alfred Spraul.Hope that helps, Leon Venter p.s. For a detailed analysis of the composition of the metals used in Luftwaffe aircraft, I can also recommend: "A Metallurgical Study of German and Italian Aircraft Engine and Airframe Parts" by Charles Otto.It covers the Jumo 211, DB 601, BMW 132 & 801, Bramo-Fafnir 323 and Fiat A80 engines, as well as various airframe components from the Bf 110, Ju 88, He 111 and Bf 109.

I would suggest setting up saved searches (with email notification) on eBay.de, and also adding those titles to your want lists on book search engines, such as abebooks.com. When a copy shows up, you'll be notified. Regards, Leon Venter |

Re: Aluminium Heat Treatment and Times
Mr Schmitt,
Several different books by Alfred Spraul are listed with multiple copies each on ABEBooks. The first 30 (of 38) are listed from about $5 to about $25 plus postage. Just search at https://www.abebooks.com/ I couldn't find the Otto book listed there. Enjoy! Frank.
