The microstructure was observed and the grain size and Vickers hardness were measured, the changes of microstructure, grain size, hardness and solid solution annealing process were discussed.
It is shown that the mechanical properties of annealed sample of 2224 aluminum alloy are improved by the combination of solid solution and aging treatment after ECAP, the size of grain is refined.
Annealing process is the key process to ensure the quality of stainless thick wall pipe. The improper operation and adjusting will induce the quality problem.
