Principle of Homogenization of 6060 Aluminum Billets

If the mechanical properties of extrusions are not as expected, attention is usually focused on the initial composition of the billet or the extrusion/aging conditions. Few people question whether homogenization itself could be an issue. In fact, the homogenization stage is crucial for producing ...

Investigation on Cracking and Grain Refinement of 7050 Alloy Slab Ingots

1. Macroscopic Factors Contributing to Crack Formation 1.1 During semi-continuous casting, cooling water is directly sprayed onto the ingot surface, creating a steep temperature gradient within the ingot. This results in uneven contraction among different regions, causing mutual restraint and gen...
