Microstructure and Its Influence on the Welding Quality of 6063 Aluminum Alloy Porthole Die Extrusion

Extrusion experiments and 3D numerical modeling were conducted to investigate the dynamic recrystallization and welding quality of a 6063 aluminum alloy hollow square tube extruded by a porthole die at the ram speeds of 3 mm/s, 7 mm/s, 9 mm/s and 11 mm/s. The results showed that average grain size o...
