Microstructure evolution during homogenization and its effect on the high temperature deformation behaviour in AA6082 based alloys

There is a current trend in increased use of aluminum extrusion alloys in automotive applications. This trend is driven by the need to reduce the vehicle weight, which in turn, is to decrease energy use and/or emissions of the vehicles. In this work, Al-Mg-Si alloys, and especially variants of AA608...
