Effect of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties and Abrasion Behavior of Aluminum Alloy 6061


Abstract in English

In this research, specimens of aluminum alloy 6061 were received, and chemical composition was investigated. After that solution heat treatment was applied on it at 530°C, a section of these specimens was quenched in water and anther quenched in oil, and two sections were aged at 160°C for times (1,3,5 h), and thus obtained six samples differ in condition of heat treatment in addition to as received specimen.
