“…During the extrusion of AA6063, an Al-Mg-O adhesive layer was observed in the die land area [13], which led to the sticking and chemical wear in the bearing channel of the extrusion die. In the more recent research, the adhesion between 5xxx series aluminium alloys and steel was investigated to simulate the material transfer between workpiece and tooling surface, and strong diffusion bonding was also observed [23,24]. The composition of the intermetallic compound layer at the aluminium (AA5083)-steel interface was identified as (Fe,Mn)Al 6 , Fe 4 Al 13 , Fe 2 Al 5 and Mg 2 Si [29].…”
