The Effect of Chemical Composition and Production Technology on the Mechanical Properties of EN AW-8006 Alloy

Abstract Aluminum alloys en AW-8006 with three different Fe:Mn ratios were studied. In the experiments, the temperature of the intermediate soft-annealing between the cold rolling processes and the final soft-annealing at the end of the production technology were varied. The processed samples were subjected to tensile testing and hardness measurements. The effect of chemical composition, based on the test results, showed that for samples without intermediate softening, only the increase of iron content has a significant effect on the yield stress, and the change of iron content refined the final grain structure compared to the reference material.
