Summary:   
This article looks at the homogenization of aluminum alloy extrusion billet, particularly in regards to continuous homogenization (rather than batch homogenization, which appeared in Parts I and II in the April and June 2002 issues of LMA). Article looks at metallurgical considerations, the development of the homogenization furnace, extrudability of AA6063 alloy, pick up and tearing, other 6000 series alloys, role of homogenization in the control of recrystallization and mechanical properties, and the interaction between homogenization and the extrusion process.
