Achieving large pre-deformation in a 7B52 laminated aluminum alloy with tailored layer thickness ratios via cryogenic rolling

Key Points

• Achieving high levels of pre-deformation improves the mechanical properties of laminated aluminum alloys,
• The study shows that cryogenic rolling effectively tailors the layer thickness ratios, resulting in significant enhancements.
• Analysis of mechanical properties indicates that these adjustments lead to better performance and durability under stress.
• This approach may enable future developments in lightweight materials, with practical implications for aerospace and automotive industries.
