Extrusion and Air-Water Cooling of Al Si1MgMn Alloy Extruded Profiles

Temperature of EN-AW 6082 alloy solid profiles and pipes after extrusion and cooling as well as their mechanical properties at various regimes of heat treatment are defined at JSC “Dniprovskiy Factory “ALUMASH”. Effect of cooling conditions on temperature change of extruded articles and also on their mechanical properties is determined; comparison to ЕN 755-2 requirements is carried out. Results are obtained at close cooperation of Metal Forming Department of National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine, JSC “Dniprovskiy Factory “ALUMASH” (Ukraine) and Forschergruppe 922 “Strangpressen” (Germany).
