1. 1. Effect of Trace Elements on the Particle Size of Magnesium Silicide in Aluminium Extrusion : The Use of Thermo-Calc and DICTRA in order to Produce Aluminium more Efficiently

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Gustav Boustedt; Johan Alexander Valentin Nygren; Gustav Strandgård; [2023]
   Keywords : Thermo-Calc; DICTRA; simulations; EN AW 6082; extrusion; particle precipitation; Mg2Si; sustainable; trace elements; aluminium;

   Abstract : This project is a feasibility study for Hydro Extrusion Sweden AB, a company that produces extruded aluminium profiles. The main purpose of this project was to analyse the difference of Mg2Si particle sizes in aluminium alloys when varying parameters, such as cooling rate and composition, in aluminium extrusion, particularly the EN AW 6082 alloy.

3. 2. Construction of cooling rig and investigation of cooling sensitivity for aluminum crash alloy

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Lars Björk; [2015]
   Keywords : quenching; cooling sensitivity; crash performance; aluminum alloy; cooling rates; quenching rates; precipitation on grain boundaries; Mg2Si; cooling rig; cooling equipment; bending angle;

   Abstract : The work presented in this master thesis deal with the issue of quenching, investigation regarding different cooling rates and its effect on the material properties of aluminum alloy in the 6xxx series used for crash purposes in cars, such as crash boxes, beams and other crash relevant parts. Precipitation of Mg2Si due to different cooling rates affects the material properties such as crash performance, thus the aluminum alloy used is sensitive to different cooling rates. READ MORE
