Abstract

The present study reports on the influence of state of ageing on mechanical properties of 6063 Al-Mg-Si alloy. Ageing response has been invested at 175 ^oC for duration ranging from 10min to 14 days via measurements of hardness and tensile properties, examinations of tensile fracture surfaces and detailed analyses of strain hardening behavior. The time to peak aged condition has been identified as 8h. Irrespective of state of ageing, a linear correlation between hardness and yield strength has been established through a statistical analysis. The variation of strength and ductility with ageing time has been explained with the change of rate of hardening induced by inherent microstructural alterations.
