Abstract Scope |
Al-Mg-Si alloys with Cu addition have been extensively used where huge amounts of mechanical loads apply on extruded profiles. In order to obtain better extrusion capability and post extrusion characteristics, homogenization is a crucial process to be optimized.
In presented study, homogenization yield of newly developed high strength Al-Mg-Si alloy with Cu addition has been investigated. Experimental studies that have been applied according to design of experiment have been done to get extreme and normal conditions of homogenization process. From considerably high temperatures to considerably low temperatures different time arrivals have been utilized to get sample set. To determine homogenization yield, conventional characterization methodologies blend with novel approaches to understand the mechanism of homogenisation. SEM investigations with elemental analysis and a novel approach for gainig better understanding on precipitate morphologies. To bring microstructure outputs in mechanical performance basis, analyses have been supported with microhardness and conductivity measurements. |
