Abstract
ForgedAluminium components are used in automotive industry for the necessity to make modern vehicles lighter, safer, and more environment friendly. The trend of using forged Aluminium components is increasing. Forging temperature, forging load, rate of deformation and deformation are some of the important process parameters that influence the end forging product quality. It is thus necessary to understand their independent and combined effect on the end product quality. In this study, hot compression test on an Al- Mg-Si Aluminium alloy (6061 alloy) was performed on Gleeble- Thermo mechanical Simulator-3500 (TMS) at a 350#xB0;,400#xB0;,450#xB0; c temperatures and with 0.2 and 2 strain rates for a fixed nominal strain of a chosen value. As a result of compression tests, deformation curves were obtained. Test specimens were quenched as soon as the tests ended to preserve the resulting microstructure. Results of feasible mechanical testing and microstructure evaluation for various combination of temperature and strain rate are compared and discussed in view of possible industrial applications.
