압출 출구 온도에 따른 Al 6061 합금의 표면 재결정층 두께 변화 및 기계적 특성 변화

초록

When extruding Al6061 alloys, deformation energy is deposited inside the extruded alloy depending on the deformation and the temperature of extrusion. This creates a Peripheral Coarse Grain (PCG) on the surface, where relatively more deformation energy. of the extruded alloy has been accumulated. Furthermore, since the deformation of materials continues while the materials recrystallize, it is important to examine the effect of deformation energy on dynamic recrystallization in the process of extruding Al alloys along with their microstructure. Prior studies explain the theory behind PCG growth though quantitative analysis on PCG growth of Al alloys during extrusion processes has not yet been addressed. This study aims to measure the generated PCG thickness which determines the correlation between extrusion outlet temperature and its effect on mechanical properties. Surface structure observations were performed using Optical Microscope (OM) and mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile strength and hardness measurement. Throughout this study, we endevoured to find the optimum condition of extrusion exit temperature of Al6061 and confirmed improved d reliability. This study describes the effect of the complex process variables such as exit temperature on the thickness of PCG layer for the Al6061 alloy using the 200 tons extrusion press. We therefore, discovered that the PCG layer thickness was 117 µm at temperatures between 460 °C to 520 °C
