Abstract
Abstract Discloses hot working by rolling or forging of mechanically alloyed aluminum-base alloys containing 5 to 35 volume percent of an aluminum transition metal intermetallic phase, e.g. Al 3 Ti which is insoluble in the solid aluminum matrix. Hot working is carried out at a temperature above about 370° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
Hot working, by a process permitting metal flow in at least two directions, of a consolidated mechanically alloyed aluminum-base alloy consisting essentially of a matrix of aluminum containing optional solid solution hardeners, about 5-35% by volume of an aluminum transition metal intermetallic phase containing at least one metal of the group consisting of manganese, chromium, vanadium, iron, nickel, cobalt, niobium, tantalum and titanium essentially insoluble in the matrix below the solidus temperature of the matrix, optional carbide phases consisting principally of aluminum carbide in an amount up to about 14 volume percent and up to about 5 volume percent of oxidic phase, said hot working being conducted in the temperature interval between 370° C. and the solidus temperature of the aluminum matrix.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
