Abstract Scope |
Aluminium extrusion is a temperature effected solid state shaping mechanism and its raw material is aluminium billets. Direct extrusion method uses them to move them out trough the aluminium dies. The die geometry has got extensive effects on the final properties, for extruded profiles.
Apart from die geometry, extrusion parameters also have got very dramatic effects on microstructures of aluminium alloys. These parameters could be seperated into the two main topics. One is temperature affected parameters and the other one is deformation affected parameters.
In this study, effects of different extrusion speeds and billet heating temperatures on microstructural properties of EN AW 6063 alloy were investigated with precise characterisation techniques. These microstructural analysis were also verified with computer aided extrusion simulation software (QForm). Finally, mechanical characterisation was also performed to determine the mechanical properties of samples with tensile testing. |
