| Abstract Scope |
In this study, four different compositions of high-strength 6xxx series aluminum alloys with differentiation in the amount of their alloying elements (magnesium, silicon, copper, manganese, zinc and Zirconium) were produced with direct chill casting method as billet form. After casting process homogenization process applied. Effects of the changes in chemical composition, homogenization time (3, 6 and 10 hours) and temperature (525°C and 545°C) on solidification behavior and microstructure were investigated. For structural characterizations of the samples, an optical microscope, energy-dispersive spectrometer-equipped scanning electron microscope and for thermo-analytical studies, differential scanning calorimetry were utilized. Additionally, for thermodynamic modeling and estimation of possible microstructural changes and solidification behaviors of the alloys, computational science was used and outputs were compared with experimental results. Results showed that the microstructure, and cast properties of the high-strength 6xxx series aluminum alloys were strongly affected by their chemical composition, homogenization time and temperature. |
