Metallographic Index-Based Quantification of the Homogenization State in Extrudable Aluminum Alloys

Extrudability of aluminum alloys of the 6xxx series is highly dependent on the microstructure of the homogenized billets. It is therefore very important to characterize quantitatively the state of homogenization of the as-cast billets. The quantification of the homogenization state was based on the...
