Abstract
A method of forming a part from aluminium alloy by rolling the alloy to form a sheet at a first manufacturing plant and cutting or stamping a blank from the sheet, solution heat treating the blank and placing the blank between dies where it is cooled shaped at a second manufacturing plant. The alloy can be a 6xxx series alloy such as 6082 which is heated to a solution heat treatment temperature in the range 520-575 0C in 30 seconds or less, a 7xxx series alloy such as 7075 with solution heat treatment at a temperature in the range 460-520 0C, a 2xxx series alloy or a 5xxx series alloy.
