| Abstract Scope |
In this study, a high-performance 6xxx series aluminum alloy was developed and characterized with a focus on applications requiring both strength and formability. After alloy casting and billet preparation, extrusion was carried out to produce profile samples. Mechanical performance was evaluated through tensile and three-point bending tests under different heat treatment conditions. Microstructural characterization included optical microscopy and SEM to investigate grain size, precipitate behavior, and fracture surfaces. The alloy composition was designed to promote favorable precipitation while maintaining good surface quality after forming. The relationship between process parameters, mechanical properties, and microstructure was examined to understand how each step—from casting to testing—affects overall performance. Findings support the potential use of this alloy in transportation-related applications where lightweight and durability are essential. |
