Abstract Scope |
Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloys (AA6xxx series), which can be hardened by age, are widely used in automotive applications due to their high formability and strength properties. The 6xxx series is shaped while in the T4 temper form. They reach their final strength with the paint process, which is an automotive production procedure. Except for the 6xxx series, Al-Mg alloys (5XXX), which come to the fore in the automotive industry, are the preferred alternative series due to their superior properties. Specific to the laboratory studies, microstructure analysis and thermo-mechanical properties were analyzed throughout the process in comparison by SEM-EDS applications. In this context, automotive final product was produced by using 5xxx (Twin Roll Casting) alloy process studies as an alternative to 6xxx (Hot Rolled) alloy. |
