Extrusion of AlCuMg Alloys with Simultaneous Solution Heat Treatment

Abstract: In the work, the experiments on extrusion of high-strength aluminium alloys (2014 and 2024) with solution heat treatment on the press were performed. The experimental study describes extrudates microstructure and mechanical properties in dependence on alloy chemical composition, mode of homogenization treatment and temperature-speed extrusion conditions. The optical microscopy and SEM/EDS characterization were supported by DSC analysis, enabling to determine the solidus temperatures of the alloys. The investig… Show more

“…At present, the most commonly used cold plastic treatment method for 2xxx alloys is die forging. In turn, hot plastic processing is performed by way of extrusion, which makes it possible to produce high-strength profiles [3][4][5][6]. However, this technology has a few weak points, as demonstrated by Schikorra et al [7].…”

“…Taking into account that diffusion rate during bonding of the metal streams depends on temperature, it is therefore clear that the higher temperature within the welding chamber will facilitate obtaining high quality welds within the product. From this point of view the most favourable would be the lowest H= 6 mm, however, looking for the optimal temperature during extrusion of 2024 alloy through the porthole die one should take into account its solidus temperature (524°C [16]), which should not be exceeded because of the possibility of overmelting.…”

“…In the case of commonly used, high-strength 2024 and 2014 grades, application of low-alloyed compositions increases the solidus temperature. In consequence, as it was shown by numerical simulations and experiments, it is possible to preform extrusion process at higher exit temperature and speed, with lowered extrusion force, compared to high-alloyed billets [2,3]. The reduced Cu and Mg content simultaneously decreases quench sensitivity of the alloys [8].…”

“…Moreover, it contributes to enhancement of profiles properties due to retaining of the fibrous structure after the extrusion (the press-effect). It also reduces the risk of extruded product defects such as peripheral coarse grain layer (PCG) and shape distortions [1][2][3][4]. In industrial practice, this technology is commonly applied for 6xxx and some 7xxx alloys.…”
