Abstract: Strength of solution treated 2A14 aluminum alloy during aging process under tensile or compressive cold deformation conditions was studied by using X-ray diffractometer and DSC differential scanning calorimetry with the help of precipitation phase strengthening and dislocation strengthening theoretical model of aluminum alloy. The results show that compared with compressive cold deformation, the dislocation density introduced by tensile cold deformation is greater, so the dislocation strengthening effect is stronger; In the under-aging stage (before θ phase precipitates) of tensile cold deformation, the precipitation of the strengthening phase θ′ phase in the alloy is promoted. In the over-aging stage (after θ phase precipitates), the precipitation of the θ phase is suppressed, and the precipitation strengthening effect of tensile cold deformation is better. The strengthening effect of the 2A14 aluminum alloy after tensile cold deformation is more significant.
