The Effects of Solid-Solution on Properties and Microstructure of 6063 Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The solution treatment of 6063 aluminum alloy was carried out and the influences of solution process on microstructure, strength, hardness, and electrical resistivity of 6063 aluminum alloy was analyzed. The result shows that the suitable solution treatment can improve alloy solution-degree fully, meanwhile the changes of electrical resistivity of alloy tend to be balanced. The suitable solution process for 6063 aluminum alloy is solution-treated at 520°C for 3.5h, and the strength and hardness of alloy can be enhanced extremely after aging-treatment at 200°C for 5h.
