Description:This article provides an overview of the metallurgical characteristics developed after casting, and how key components of the billet coupled with extrusion processing -- such as homogenization and preheating practices -- affect the material on a microstructural level. Certain physical process limitations are also discussed as they relate to key microstructural elements within the extrusion billet.
