Tensile Properties and Plasticity of Semi-Solid Cast 6061 Al Alloy at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tensile properties and plasticity of semi-solid 6061 Al alloy at room and elevated temperatures. The semi-solid 6061 alloy was produced by the Gas Induced Semi-Solid (GISS) technique followed by squeeze casting process. The conventional liquid squeeze cast (CLC) 6061 alloy was also fabricated for comparison. The tensile tests were performed at temperature of 25 °C, 100 °C and 175 °C. The experimental results showed that the UTS, 0.2% yield strength and % elongation at break of the SSM alloy are higher than those of the CLC one at all temperatures. Based on the simple flow law, σt=Kεtn , the strain hardening exponent n and the strength coefficient K of the SSM alloy are lower than those of the CLC. The SSM alloy demonstrates more plasticity than the CLC. The results may be attributed to the more globular structure of the SSM alloy.
