摘要： A manufacturing process for obtaining extruded products made from a 6xxx aluminium alloy, wherein the said manufacturing process comprises following steps:



a) homogenizing a billet cast from said aluminium alloy;
b) heating the said homogenised cast billet;
c) extruding the said billet through a die to form at least a solid or hollow extruded product;
d) quenching the extruded product down to room temperature;
e) optionally stretching the extruded product to obtain a plastic deformation typically between 0.5% and 5%;
f) ageing the extruded product without applying on the extruded product any separate post-extrusion solution heat treatment between steps d) and f).
characterised in that:

i) the heating step b) is a solution heat treatment where:

b1) the cast billet is heated to a temperature between Ts-15° C. and Ts, wherein Ts is the solidus temperature of the said aluminium alloy;
b2) the billet is cooled until billet mean temperature reaches a value between 400° C. and 480° C. while ensuring billet surface never goes below a temperature substantially close to 400° C.;


ii) the billet thus cooled is immediately extruded (step c)), i.e. a few tens seconds after the end of step b2).

摘要： The present invention relates to extrusions for structural components, such as bumper, side impact beam, seat sill in vehicles and more particularly to a method for optimizing strength and energy absorption of 6XXX aluminium alloys extrusions by variations in thermomechanical ageing (TMA) consisting in



i) an artificial preageing treatment with a duration t1 at a temperature T1 selected to increase the yield strength of said extrusion between 5% and 20%, said temperature T1 being typically between 120° C. and 180° C. and said duration t1 being typically between 1 and 100 hours, to obtain an artificially preaged extrusion,
ii) a plastic deformation of said artificially preaged extrusion between 1% and 80% to obtain a deformed extrusion,
iii) a final artificial ageing treatment of said deformed extrusion with a duration t2 at a temperature T2, said temperature T2 being typically between 140° C. and 200° C. and said the duration t2 being typically between 1 and 100 hours.

摘要： The invention relates to a manufacturing process for obtaining 6xxx-series aluminium alloy solid extruded products, comprising Si: 0.3-1.7 wt. %; Mg: 0.1-1.4 wt. %, Cu: 0.1-0.8 wt. %, Zn 0.005-0.7 wt %, one or more dispersoid element, from the group consisting of Mn 0.15-1 wt. %, Cr 0.05-0.4 wt. % and Zr 0.05-0.25 wt. %, Fe at most 0.5 wt. %, other elements at most 0.05 wt. % the rest being aluminium, having particularly high mechanical properties, typically an ultimate tensile strength higher than 400 MPa, preferably 430 MPa, and more preferably 450 MPa without the need for a post-extrusion solution heat treatment operation. The invention also concerns a manufacturing process for obtaining a bumper system in which is integrated a towing eye, said towing eye being made with said high mechanical properties aluminium alloys.
