Abstract

This disclosure is directed at methods for mechanical property improvement in a metallic alloy that has undergone one or more mechanical property losses as a consequence of shearing, such as in the formation of a sheared edge portion or a punched hole. Methods are disclosed that provide the ability to improve mechanical properties of metallic alloys that have been formed with one or more sheared edges which may otherwise serve as a limiting factor for industrial applications.
