Process model to predict yield strength of AA6063 alloy

Effect of precipitate size distribution on hardness of aluminium 6063 alloy

“…According to the theories and available reports of hardening mechanisms (Jacobs et al,1999;Kulkarni et al, 2004), the combination of cutting through, and 'bowing and bypassing' mechanisms play a major role for getting a signifi cant improvement of hardness in Al 6063 within the particle size ranges of R 1 and R 2 (Cavazos & Colãs, 2003;Nandy et al, 2015). Concluding all remarks, hardness vs percentage of precipitates belonging to ranges of R 1 and R 2 were plotted as shown in Figure 11.…”

“…Al 6063 alloy has been subjected to a precipitation hardening treatment to improve its hardness and strength up to a required level that is dependent on the components to be produced (Cavazos & Colãs, 2003). Thus, wide-ranging knowledge regarding evolution of microstructure during precipitation hardening and their eff ect on mechanical properties are critically focused in previous research (Cavazos & Colãs, 2003;Nandy et al, 2015). Current research on precipitation hardening of Al 6063 alloy have studied the eff ect of chemical composition and heat treatment profi le either individually or in combination to gain the required level of strength and hardness.…”

Corrosion behavior of under‐, peak‐, and over‐aged 6063 alloy: A comparative study

“…Aluminum 6063 alloy having 0.5 Mg and 0.43 Si (in wt.%) is selected for the present study. The nominal composition of the investigated alloy is presented in an earlier article by one of the authors . The alloy is procured in the form of hot extruded round bars tempered in T6 condition having dimensions of about 2 m in length and diameter of 16 mm.…”

“…The nominal composition of the investigated alloy is presented in an earlier article by one of the authors. [14] The alloy is procured in the form of hot extruded round bars tempered in T6 condition having dimensions of about 2 m in length and diameter of 16 mm. The microstructural state of artificially aged 6063 alloy is examined by conducting the preliminary experiments on the basis of which the final heat treatment schedule is prepared.…”

“…[7][8][9] An ideal route to improve the mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloys is to expose them to ageing treatments for the precipitation of intermetallics from the solute atoms within the matrix of the alloy. [7] The influence of ageing treatment on the mechanical properties, [10][11][12][13] fatigue [14][15][16][17] and tribological behavior [18,19] were extensively studied for this kind of alloys in the past. Some of these reports have suggested that the change in the precipitation state predominantly influences the investigated properties.…”
