| Abstract Scope |
The effect of T8 heat treatment on wear behaviour of AA6063 were studied and precipitation kinetics was evaluated by SEM and XRD studies. AA6063 square rods of 9.5 mm X 9.5 mm X 100mm were solution treated at 5200C for 2hrs and quenched in water. One set of samples were processed by ECAP at room temperature and the other set were processed by Cryogenic ECAP after soaking in liquid nitrogen for 20 minutes. A die of 1080 channel intersection angle and 360 outer curvature angle was used and each sample was given four passes in route A and aged at 1800C. Hardness measurements were obtained at regular intervals and wear tests were conducted on pin-on-disc wear testing machine. SEM images were obtained and the wear behaviour of the alloy was correlated with the microstructures. Much improvement in wear resistance was observed in the alloy processed by cryo-ECAP. |
