ABSTRACT:
A method is provided to impart a fine grain structure to aluminum alloys which have precipitating constituents. The alloy is overaged to form coarse precipitates, and then plastically deformed at least 40%. Deformation is accomplished at a temperature and at a rate which are sufficient to retain strain energy in the alloy at the end of the deformation step. The alloy is subsequently heated at a rate of at least 0.02.degree. F..multidot.s.sup.-1 to a recrystallization temperature to form a new fine grain structure.
