Study of the Influence of Technological Factors on the Surface Structure of Aluminum 6000 Series Alloys Ingots

Abstract:

The structure and chemical composition of the surface layers of aluminum 6000-series alloys after crystallization and homogenization annealing at 580 °C were investigated. It is shown that the state of the surface significantly depends on the presence of impurities in the coolant of the crystallizer, which deteriorate the continuity of the oxide film, which leads to the formation of light color of individual parts of the ingot surface.
