반용융 직접 압출에 의한 Porthole Die 활용 A7075 심리스 튜브 개발
Development of Seamless Tube for 7075 Al Wrought Alloys by Direct Thixoextrusion process utilizing Porthole Die
초록
The aim of this study was to improve extrudability limit, eliminate welding line and obtain optimum thixoextrusion conditions for manufacturing tubes of 7075 Al wrought alloy. By thixoextrusion, it was possible to improve deformability, control isotropy with extrusion direction, eliminate welding line (seamless) and save cost due to low energy consumption compared with conventional extrusion processes. The welded part was not observed at the welding line area. The grains of thixoextruded tube were homogeneously distributed and equiaxed grains were observed. Therefore, thixoextrusion is the most effective variable for the control of the magnitude of the welding line.
