AB - Extrusion of wide plates and sheets of light alloys has been studied over a long period of time, yet the extrudable width of the material is still limited due to high extrusion force requirement. To overcome this drawback, a new multi-container extrusion process is proposed in the research, which allows the production of lightweight plates and sheets with less force compared to that of existing extrusion methods. A lab scale feasibility study system with three containers has been designed and built and tested for AA1060 billets. Experimental work has been carried out with the extrusion temperature of 450°C and extrusion speed of 0.5 mm/s. Optical microscopy observation and tensile tests have been performed for the extruded materials at different positions to investigate the extrusion welding quality between the three extrusion billets. The test results show that the welding quality improves as extrusion progresses and the overall welding quality is stable. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the new multi-container extrusion method.
