Influence of Heat Treatment Parameters on Mechanical Properties and Crashworthiness of Aluminum Crash Box

Abstract:

The influence of heat treatment parameters, i.e. solution temperature, solution time, aging temperature and aging treatment on the mechanical properties and crashworthiness of crash boxes produced with 6101 aluminum alloy were studied. The optimal heat treatment processing was obtained as follows: 510°C×45min+175°C×7h. The crash boxes were treated under different heat treatments, i.e. T1 temper,T4 temper and T6 temper and then compressed under static pressure. The results indicate that the energy absorption of crash box can after T6 treatment is significantly higher than the samples under T1temper and T4 temper, which have similar energy absorption. The peak force of static pressure crash boxes treated under T6 temper is obviously higher than the other two tempers.
