Abstract Scope |
Aluminium–magnesium (Al–Mg) alloys (5XXX series) are preferred for the automotive industry due to their superior properties such as high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and weldability. In this study, in order to meet high-quality expectations of the automotive industry, for an efficient and sustainable production continuous casting (twin roll caster) conditions were determined and thermo-mechanical processes, which are required for the final products, were developed. Regarding its high strength, weldability and excellent deep drawing properties the demand for 5754 aluminum alloy in the automotive industry is increasing significantly. In the scope of this project, industrial production and laboratory prototype studies were evaluated comparatively at each production stage. Microstructures of the samples and thermo-mechanical properties were examined in detail. Moreover, the surface properties were analyzed by non-destructive testing methods at each production stage to fulfil the requirements of the automotive industry. |
