Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of the die forging tests of a modified EN AW-6101 alloy with the addition of Zr, using two types of the feedstock materials. The first feedstock materials were ingots cast in a vertical semi-continuous process, the second feedstock materials were extruded rods. The die forging process was carried with parameters enabling "on line" heat treatment (T5 temper). For comparison, forgings were also heat treated to the T6 temper and to thermo-mechanical treated to the T8 and T9 temper. Then forgings made from both feedstock materials were characterised in terms of structure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity.
