Abstract. Aluminum alloys have been extensively used as structural material due to its high
strength and damage-tolerance. Alloy 6061, 2024 and 7075 are engineered to be lightweight and
strong,and their ease of formability allows complex shapes and drawn parts,which can then be
further enhanced with heat treating. In this study is aimed to improve the mechanical properties of
aluminum alloys by heat treatment.AA2024 and AA7075 were selected and each alone at T3 and
T6 temper conditions has been studied respectively. For the mechanical properties of AA2024 and
AA7075 alloys hardness, fatigue behavior, tensile test and charpy impact test with standard V–
notched specimens at RTand -5˚C were analysed in the present study. Microstructural
characterization has been done using standard metallography.
