exploring the effects of specific alloying elements on the production, extrusion and properties of 6xxx series aluminium alloys

主讲人 : prof. malcolm james couper

the optimisation of 6xxx series aluminium alloy compositions has evolved via empirical studies of heat-treated properties, followed by investigations into the effect of homogenisation on extrudability and properties. this optimisation has also been influenced by the imperatives of cost, market competition and certification. to illustrate the inherent trade-off between productivity and properties, some examples will be selected from the major elements mg, si and cu, minor elements fe, mn and cr and trace elements na, ti, etc in 6xxx series alloys. the development of advanced microscopy and modelling techniques has led to resurgence in attempts to further improve aluminium alloys. some comments will be made on the future development of 6xxx alloys.
