Description
EXTRUDABLE ALUMINUM ALLOYS
Background of the Invention The invention relates to aluminum alloys which contain magnesium and silicon and articles extruded therefrom.
The aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys as contemplated herein are alloys having a major content of aluminum and minor contents of magnesium and silicon, and are exemplified by known alloys identified by Aluminum Association designations in the 6000 series, e.g. alloys having aluminum association (AA) designations such as 6009, 6010, 6011, 6061 and 6063.
One of the most widely used of these 6000 series alloys has been Alloy 6061.
These 6000 series alloys are heat treatable and are well known for their useful strength and toughness properties in both T4 and T6 tempers.
Typical 6000 series aluminum alloys are described in Park, U.S. Patent 4,589,932, issued May 20, 1986. That patent describes alloys 6061 and 6063 in some detail and refers to alloy 6061 as being useful for sheet, plate and forging applications.
These alloys are further discussed in Jeffrey et al., U.S. Patent 4,637,842, issued January 20, 1987. In that case, a 6061 stock was used in producing aluminum sheet for the use in the manufacture of aluminum cans.
Another A1-Mg-Si alloy is described in Schwellinger et al., U.S. Patent 4,525,326, issued June 25, 1985. This alloy was designed for producing extrusions and contained as an essential component 0.05 to 0.20°s vanadium.
With medium strength A1-Mg-Si alloys, maximum extrusion speed is controlled predominantly by the percentage of magnesium silicide in the alloy. This determines the hot flow stress of the alloy and therefore the temperature rise that occurs during deformation. The maximum extrusion speed is that at which the surface begins to tear or speed crack. This occurs when the surface temperature reaches the solidus temperature of the alloy. For any starting billet temperature, a reduction in the heat of deformation allows a higher speed.
The relation between temperature rise and speed follows a log (speed) relation. Therefore, small reductions in the magnesium silicide percentage and corresponding small changes in the flow stress and temperature rise can have a very significant effect on the maximum speed.
A typical AA6061 alloy in commercial use is 0.88%Mg, 0.60% Si, 0.20% Fe, 0.20% Cu, 0.08% Cr and less than 0.2%
manganese and the balance essentially aluminum. Commercial operating conditions are generally non-optimum which results in incomplete solution treatment and. in some instances precipitation of the magnesium silicide during quenching. It has been found that AA6061 is typically richer in magnesium and silicon than is actually required to achieve AA6061-T6 mechanical properties, which is the property target recognized for structural applications in the North American extrusion industry.
It is the object of the present invention to provide an alloy for structural applications having improved extrudability without risk of compromising mechanical properties.
i Summary of the Invention The present invention in its broadest aspect relates to an extrudable aluminum based alloy consisting essentially of 0.60-0.84 % by weight magnesium, 0.40-0.58% by weight silicon, 0.15-0.40% by weight copper, 0.06-0.20% by weight chromium, or 0.20-0.80% by weight manganese, less than 0.25% by weight iron, where SiZ(Mg/1.73 + (Cr+Fe)/3-0.04), and the balance essentially aluminum.
A preferred alloy contains 0.64-0.84% magnesium and 0.45-0.58% silicon, more preferably 0.64-0.80% magnesium and 0.45-0.58% silicon.
In the alloy of the present invention, the magnesium content has been reduced to the minimum possible for mechanical properties. In this way, the magnesium silicide content of the alloy has been reduced, providing a very beneficial effect on extrudability. Thus, there are productivity gains based on reduction in flow stress and extrusion pressure.
It has been found that it is the melting point of the alloys of this invention that is the direct cause of these alloys being capable of meeting AA6061-T6 mechanical properties with significantally improved extrudability Brief Description of the Drawings Fig. 1 is a graph plotting ram load versus homogenization conditions;

A preferred alloy contains 0.64-0.84% magnesium and 0.45-0.58% silicon, more preferably 0.64-0.80% magnesium and 0.45-0.58% silicon.
In the alloy of the present invention, the magnesium content has been reduced to the minimum possible for mechanical properties. In this way, the magnesium silicide content of the alloy has been reduced, providing a very beneficial effect on extrudability. Thus, there are productivity gains based on reduction in flow stress and extrusion pressure.
It has been found that it is the melting point of the alloys of this invention that is the direct cause of these alloys being capable of meeting AA6061-T6 mechanical properties with significantally improved extrudability Brief Description of the Drawings Fig. 1 is a graph plotting ram load versus homogenization conditions;

Description of the Preferred Embodiments Extrudability tests have been carried out and these have shown that the alloy of the present invention with reduced magnesium silicide content requires a Lower pressure than standard AA6061. This means that for a given available press pressure, a colder billet can be extruded. Moreover, the lower starting temperature allows a higher speed before the limiting surface temperature is reached. Excess magnesium over that required to form magnesium silicide is detrimental to extrudability and should be controlled in order for optimum press performance.
The copper in the composition is required for increasing the age hardening response of the alloy and a minimum of 0.15 wt% Cu is necessary to achieve the required strength levels. Manganese and chromium are not essential but are very desirable to give satisfactory toughness for structural applications and offer great flexibility in the use of the alloys.
The alloys of the invention are preferably homogenized at a soak temperature of about 550-585°C and the extrusions are preferably quenched at a rate of at least 3°C per second.
Example 1 To demonstrate the practice of the invention and the advantages thereof, aluminum alloy were made having the following compositions:
Alloy Mg Si Fe Cu Cr Mn Al A 0.84 0.60 0.19 0.20 0.07 <0.02 Balance B 0.88 0.59 0.18 0.20 0.08 Balance 0.03 C 0.87 0.63 0.20 0.21 0.07 Balance 0.06 D 0.74 0.53 0.18 0.20 0.07 <0.02 Balance 6005A 0.48 0.68 0.19 0.09 0.01 <0.02 Balance The above alloys were homogenized at different times and temperatures and the breakthrough load in tonnes was measured for the five alloy variants at five different homogenization conditions. The results are shown in Figure 1.
Pressure reductions of the order of one to three percent were measured and this equates to a reduction of approximately 25°F in the minimum billet temperature that can be extruded.
Percentage increases in speed that can be expected from such a reduction vary from 15 to 30%.
The five different alloys were also tested for strength and toughness properties in T6 tempers. To achieve this, the alloys A, B, C and D were homogenized for two hours at 580°C, while the 6005A alloy was homogenized for one hour at 560°C.
They were cooled under three different conditions, namely (a) still air cool, (b) forced air quench and (c) water quench.
The results are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
It can be seen that the data for Alloy D (0.74% Mg) is equivalent to that of the regular 6061-Alloy A.
Example 2 A series of aluminum alloys were prepared having the following compositions:
Alloy Si Fe Cu Mg Cr Mg2Si xs.Si MNE 0.57 0.18 0.19 0.84 0.07 1.3188 nil MND 0.52 0.18 0.19 0.77 0.07 1.2089 nil MNB 0.45 0.15 0.19 0.64 0.07 1.0048 nil MNC 0.5 0.17 0.19 0.69 0.07 1.0833 0.0212 MNF 0.53 0.16 0.19 0.64 0.08 1.0048 0.0801 MNG I 0.56 0. 18 0.19 0.7 I 0.08 I 1.0990.0687 I ~ I I
These were cast as 178mm diameter billet. Alloy MNE is very similar to alloy A in Example 1. The billets were homogenised at 580°C followed by cooling to room temperature at 350°C/hr. They were then induction preheated to 480°C and extruded into three shapes; a lOmm dia bar, a 38 x 3mm strip and a 38 x 3mm strip. The extrusion speed for the 10 mm dia.
was varied until the onset of tearing was found which was used as a measure of productivity. The extrusions were quenched at a number of different rates by using various air flow rates and a water quench system. The quenched extrusions were artificially aged for 7 hours at 175°C. Mechanical _7_ properties, including tensile properties and toughness, of selected extrusions were then measured.
Most of the alloy compositions tested (as shown in Table 2) were close to being balanced in terms of Mg2Si with the exception of two variants, MNF and MNG, where the excess silicon (xs.Si) was increased to 0.07-0.08 wt%. Figure 4 shows the cracking speed as a function of composition. The maximum extrusion speed possible before tearing occured increased progressively as the magnesium content was decreased. The alloys with an excess silicon addition exhibited tearing earlier than the balanced alloys.
Figure 5 shows the effect of melting point on the tearing speed. For all compositions, regardless of excess silicon, the cracking speed increased as the melting point was raised.
Figure 6 shows the effect of composition on extrusion breakthrough load. There was no variation in extrusion load across the range of compositions studied. The increase in speed with decreasing magnesium content therefore appears to be due to the increase in the melting point.
The aged extrusions were also subjected to tensile testing for three quench rates applied as a function of compositions. The results are shown in Figures 7a, 7b and 7c.
The results show that the yield and tensile strengths increase with faster quench rates and higher excess silicon levels.
However, the properties are independent of the magnesium content. It was found that with sufficiently high quench rate, all the compositions tested are capable of meeting the 6061-T6 tensile requirements (260 Mpa UTS, 240 Mpa Proof Stress, 8% Elongation).
Speed cracking is initiated when the extrusion surface temperature reaches the alloy melting point. Raising the _g_ melting point moves this condition to a higher exit speed.
The insensitivity of the extrusion load to the magnesium content of the alloy is initially surprising. However, the extrusion load is controlled by the amount of magnesium in solid solution. In practice commercial extrusion temperatures are rarely high enough to dissolve all the magnesium silicide for alloys of this type. The level of magnesium in solid solution is therefore defined by the extrusion temperature and the alloy solvus curve and can be independent of alloy composition. This effect is illustrated schematically in Figure 8.
