Summary

A method of increasing the compressive strength of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet by flexure rolling was investigated. In this method, the sheet was alternately bent and then straightened by rolling in a four-step procedure. The results showed that the greatest increase was in compressive yield stress in the with-grain direction regardless of the direction of rolling; the increase was greater as the radius of flexure rolling became smaller and as the number of steps was increased. The tensile properties, however, were little affected.
