Homogenization Treatment of 6000 Series Extruded Aluminum Alloys

Homogenization Treatment of 6000 Series of our Extruded Aluminum Alloys:

Understanding the Core Process and Key Controls

In the production chain of 6000 series extruded aluminum alloys, homogenization treatment is a crucial "connecting" process, like a deep conditioning treatment for the ingot, making it internally consistent from its inherently uneven state, ultimately ensuring the quality and performance of the extruded parts. Below, we break down the core details of this process in simple terms:

Why is homogenization treatment necessary? – Addressing the "inherent defects" left by casting

After casting, the aluminum alloy ingot is like an "unevenly mixed cake," containing many natural problems. The core purpose of homogenization treatment is to specifically address these problems:

1. Optimizing the morphology of hard and brittle impurities

2. Eliminating compositional segregation

3. Refining the strengthening phase particles
