This paper aims at the problem of high performance manufacturing of large 2A14 Al-alloy cylindrical components for aerospace applications. A warm rolling process was put forward to substantially refine the grains and secondary phases of 2A14 Al alloys. The results indicated that compared with hot rolling, warm rolling was easier to implement to form abundant subgrains and fully crushed the coarse particles. Coarse second phases dissolved and the precipitated T phases (AlCuMn) hindered the migration of grain boundaries and restrained grain growth during the heat treatment.The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the 2A14 aluminium alloy were significantly increased by 59 MPa (an increase of 14%), 71 MPa (an increase of 21%), 4% (an increase of 67%), respectively.
