摘要
heat-treatable 6000 series aluminum alloys are the most commonly extruded materials in the world. The precipitation process in these alloys is both complex and well characterized. The earliest clustering stage has been shown to have a large effect on subsequent strengthening precipitation, however little is known about the influence of clustering as a function of composition and processing parameters. The current work examines this influence considering the factors of relative and absolute magnesium and silicon content, and the extent of natural aging. Billets were cast and extruded prior to heat-treatment, and the hardening response was evaluated with hardness, conductivity, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This work advances the current understanding of Al-Mg-Si precipitation by correlating the kinetics of age hardening to composition and processing, and may lead to further optimization of 6000 series alloy strength and toughness.
