Abstract Scope |
SolidStir Extrusion (SSE) stands out as a novel friction stir technology based process, developed to yield an extrudate in a solid-state manufacturing environment. This method presents a spectrum of advantages, including reduced power consumption, extended operational continuity, broad applicability to various materials, and the adaptability to large-scale customization. The focus of this study is to showcase the feasibility of SSE employing Al 6061-T6 as feedstock material. Detailed microstructural and mechanical characterizations show that SSE extrudates displayed fine equiaxed microstructure (∼10–15 µm) and showcased improved ductility, in comparison to the base material (∼100 µm). Post-process heat treatment further improved the extrudate mechanical properties. To provide a thorough understanding, the proposed conceptual model links process parameters to outcomes, enhancing the comprehension of SSE process. This innovative technique also showcases its potential to extrude multiple geometries like tubes, wires and rods emphasizing its versatility and sustainability in the realm of solid-state manufacturing. |
