Summary:

This article is especially important for extruders of 6xxx alloys, as it summarizes technical points about not only quench sensitivity of these alloys, but also specific target quench rates to assure good properties in some of the most commonly extruded alloys. Application of 6xxx extrusions in rail vehicles requires their achieving maximum mechanical properties, only made possible by optimizing press quench and age hardening practices.
