A strong demand from the aerospace sector has made it challenging for industry to supply heat-treated plate for both aerospace and other applications. To increase heat-treated plate production capacity, ASTM International Committee B07 on Light Metals and Alloys has developed a new standard, B 947 , Practice for Hot Rolling Mill Solution Heat Treatment for Aluminum Alloy Plate. The new standard…
