• Volume: Vol. 71, No. 6
• Year: 2013
• No.of Pages: 4
• Description: This article series covers key aspects of the common 6000 series alloys from composition selection through processing, properties, and applications. Preferred alloy options and processing conditions are highlighted from the perspective of considering the actual properties required for the applications rather than simply specifying an alloy code and temper. The aim is towards providing a basis for realizing the full potential of the alloy series for extrusion operations. Part I covered the range, common characteristics, and selection within the 6000 series. Part II continues with processing of these alloys, including billet preheating, the limit diagram, press quenching, and aging, as well as in-depth consideration of the application of 6000 series alloys.
