The Effect of Homogenization Conditions on Extrusion Texture and Microstructure Evolution in AA3003

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two different conditions were used to study the effect of homogenization on extrusion texture and microstructure evolution in AA3003. The first condition considered homogenization for 8 h at 500°C to obtain a high density of dispersoids and the other condition was homogenized for 24 h at 600°C to produce a sample with a very low density of dispersoids. After uniaxial extrusion at 400°C with a speed of 32 mm/s and an extrusion ratio of 70:1, the material with a high density of dispersoids formed <001> and <111> double fibre texture in the centre of extrusion rod and a smeared texture from <011> to <111> near the surface. For the material without dispersoids, only <001> texture fibre is observed in the centre of extrusion rod and a strong <011> fibre is observed near the surface.
