Analysis on Production Process of Aluminium Alloy 6063 Extruded Profiles (Part 2)

https://haluminium.com/ Homogenizing Treatment In Alloy 6063, the dissolving temperature of Mg2Si is 520 ℃, and Al-Mg-Si three-phase eutectic temperature is 595 ℃, the actual burning temperature is lower than 595 ℃, so homogenization should be treated between 520-595 ℃. After homogenization, the following changes occurred in Alloy 6063 structure: 1), Coring Segregation disappeared. 2), Mg2Si is dissolved in α (Al12Fe3Si2), and unbalance eutectic disappeared. 3), The acicular β(Al9Fe2Si2) is transformed into a spherical α (Al12Fe3Si2), and the iron-containing phase particles are refined. Through the above changes, the extrusion performance and aluminium profile quality will be greatly improved: The disappearance of coring segregation will reduce the inhomogeneity of metal flow during extrusion and improve the surface finish of extruded profiles; The decrease and refining of large unbalance phase Mg, Si particles and Al-Fe-Si phase particle in the structure, will redu...

Analysis on Production Process of Aluminium Alloy 6063 Extruded Profiles (Part 1)

The 6××× series aluminium alloy extruded profile is widely used in construction, transportation, electronics and other industries due to its good corrosion resistance and comprehensive strength. Among them, alloy 6063 belongs to Al - Mg - Si system is not sensitive to stress corrosion of aluminium alloy, with moderate strength, excellent compression performance, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good processability, become the most widely used building material materials. Chemical Composition Analysis of Alloy 6063 For the chemical composition of alloy 6063, I have had two previous articles devoted to this discussion:  Chemical Composition is the Determinant of Aluminium Profile Performances Optimal Control of Aluminium Alloy 6063 Chemical Composition In fact, the core points have the following three aspects: 1. Selection of Mg2Si quantity. 6063 aluminium alloy heat treatment strengthening effect is increased with the increase of Mg2Si quantity increase...

What's the Different Between Automobile Engine Aluminium Cylinder Block and Iron's?

Today let's talk about our vehicle, especially the family car. When we read the configuration instruction of car, we often see the details about cylinder block of the engine. At present, the cylinder block of the gasoline engine is divided into cast iron and cast aluminium . In the diesel engine, the cast iron cylinder is the majority. In recent years, with the rapid development of automobile industry, cars have rapidly entered the life of ordinary people, and the fuel economy of vehicles has been gradually taken seriously. To reduce the weight of the engine, it can save oil.The weight of the engine can be reduced by casting aluminium  cylinder block. From the perspective of use, the strength of the cast aluminium cylinder is light-weight, which can save the fuel by reducing the weight. In an engine with the same displacement, the engine of the aluminium cylinder can reduce the weight of about 20kg. For every 10% reduction in the vehicle's weight, fuel consumption can ...

Extruded Aluminum Process Step Influences Colouring Effect

The influence of extrusion process on oxidation coloring is mainly the influence of mold/die design, extrusion temperature, extrusion speed and cooling method on the surface state and tissue uniformity of extruded profiles. Mold design should be able to make the material fully fit, otherwise, it is easy to appear bright (dark) with defects, the same profile may appear on the color separation; At the same time, the mold/die state and profile surface extrusion pattern also affect the oxidation coloring. Extrusion temperature, speed, cooling and cooling time are different so that the profile is not uniform but also produce color. Anodic oxidation has important influence on electrolytic coloring of chromatic aberration, especially in the process of vertical oxidation production line is easy to appear the two color, vertical oxidation groove depth of 7.5 m, bath and easy to produce temperature difference, temperature has important effect on the anodic oxidation, high temperature, li...
