Abstract:Among multiple applications 6XXX-series aluminum alloys are widely used as electrical conductor for overhead power lines. For that application Al-Mg-Si alloys are produced mainly in the form of wire rod in the continuous casting and rolling lines (CCR). There is many technological routes possible to transform the Al-Mg-Si wire-rod into precipitation hardened, ready to use Al-Mg-Si wires. One of these routes involves using the heat of continuous casting and rolling process to artificial ageing of wire-rod, whic… Show more
