Abstract:A new forming process,the hybrid forming of aluminum alloys is introduced in this paper. This forming
process has been applied in high-class vehicles. In this process, the aluminum alloy sheet is formed and quenched simultaneously
followed by a second stage precipitation period. By using this forming process, the formability and strength
of aluminum alloys has greatly improved. A much lighter and stronger component, with more complex geometry can be
obtained. The potential application of hybrid formed aluminum alloys components in aircrafts is discussed. This paper
provides references for forming and processing of aluminum alloys, as well as the industrialization of HFQ in China.
