Effects of Heat Treatment on the Tensile Properties of Flow-Formed AA6082 Aluminum Alloy Tube

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study reports the effect of the heat treatment on the tensile properties of the reverse flow-formed AA6082 Aluminum alloy tube. Tensile specimens obtained after each forming pass have been subjected to three different heat-treatment conditions viz., as-flow formed (AFF), as-flow formed followed by artificial aging (170°C/6h) and HT (solutionizing + 170°C/6h) treatments. Characterization of the tensile properties reveals that as-flow formed condition (followed by natural aging) gives the best combination of yield strength, UTS and percentage of elongation. The variations in tensile properties are correlated with microstructure of the materials.
