To improve the deep drawing properties of 3xxx aluminum alloys produced by twin roll continuous casting method

In this study, AA3104 alloy plates (7.20 mm) are produced by the twin -roll continuous casting method and cold rolling and annealing operations and the final product ( having thickness 0.20 mm ) have been obtained. Casting thickness reduced to different thicknesses (4.35 and 5.80 mm) have gone through homogenization annealing (480 and 550 ° C) therefore 4 different products with temper H0 and H19 were obtained. Mechanical properties of the products (yield - tensile strength, anisotropy coefficient) were investigated by applying tensile and Erichsen tests; and the changes in the microstructure was determined by light microscope.
