Influence of Gas Oven Temperature on the Microstructure and Extrudability of Al-Mg-Si Aluminium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microstructure of Al-Mg-Si aluminium alloys is well characterised when it comes to the initial state of the cast billet or the artificially aged profile. Typically, a gas oven coupled with an induction oven is used to preheat the billets before extrusion. Preheating reduces the flow stress of the aluminium and dissolves the phases that have precipitated during cooling after homogenisation. In this paper, the influence of the gas oven temperature on the partial or complete dissolution of the precipitated phases will be shown. In addition, the negative effect of a wrong choice of parameters on the volume content of the MgSi phases will be shown.
