Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are high-strength, highly deformable aluminum alloys and methods of making and processing such alloys. More particularly, disclosed is a heat treatable aluminum alloy exhibiting improved mechanical strength and formability. The processing method includes casting, homogenizing, hot rolling, solutionizing, pre-aging and in some cases pre-straining. In some cases, the processing steps can further include cold rolling and/or heat treating.
