Popis: Post-forging heat treatment is often necessary to achieve the mechanical properties required for aluminum alloy forged parts. In this study, hot-forged 6082 suspension parts are used to study the effect of rapid infrared (IR) heat treatment. The insoluble particles present in the matrix after the solutionizing process are observed. Experimental results show that using rapid IR heat treatment leads to superior solutionizing, and thus a larger critical onset strain in serrated tensile flow. The rapid IR heat treatment also had a more significant precipitation effect, which enhanced the mechanical properties of the material.
