Aluminum alloy 6061 was tensile tested at different strain rates at different superplastic temperatures. The tested aluminum alloy 6061 was initially heavily cold rolled and heat treated.
Changes in the behavior of the alloy were quantified by the changes in the tensile properties. Tensile properties measured were yield strength, UTS, Young's modulus, ductility and percentage elongation.
Temperatures and the strain rates were found to have significant effects on the measured properties with significant changes occuring due to the previous deformation history of the alloy.
