A Study on Hydrostatic Extrusion of Al Duo-Casted Billet

Abstract:

In this study, a Hydro Co-Extrusion Process of Al-Mn/Al-Si hybrid alloys prepared by electromagnetic duo-casting was investigated. Sleeve of the duo-casted billets is 3003 Al-Mn alloy and core is 4004 Al-Si alloy. It is expected hydrostatic stress during the HCE process enhances formability of materials and minimize any defects in extruded billets due to different material properties between two Al alloys. The duo-casted billet was extruded at temperature of 423K and with extrusion ratio of 5. Finally, the effect of the HCE on microstructure of the billet was investigated by an optical microscope.
