| Abstract Scope |
Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE) was used to fabricate thin-walled AA6063 tubing with improved mechanical properties compared to conventional extrusion. Namely, tensile properties for ShAPE extrusions after T5 heat treating far exceed conventional T5 properties and are on par with T6 tensile properties. Die rotational speed did not affect tensile properties, although increased extrusion speed did lead to moderate increases in elongation. |
