The paper describes the mechanical and corrosion properties of three heat treatable extruded Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloys. The alloys were tested as T5 tempered (air-quenched directly on the press and artificially aged) after processing by the extrusion of semi-continuous cast and homogenized billets. The addition of small amounts of zirconium and manganese in the base AIMgSiO.7 alloy increased the strength, reaching 310 MPa of tensile strength and increased the corrosion rate by 15% in aqueous sodium chloride solution.

The manuscript considers the possibility of using of superplastic deformation at hot forging of aluminum alloys. The analysis has been conducted concerning the use of different methods for imparting ultra-fine grain structure to aluminum alloys in terms of their workability. The deformation and heat processing for thermo-strengthened aluminum alloys has been proposed in which superplastic deformation is combined with hardening. The effect of such processing on mechanical and corrosion properties of aluminum alloys is shown. The model processing of a component is demonstrated at forging under superplasticity conditions often surpass the advantages obtained.

The previous study conducted on the as-cast Mg-2Y-1Zn-0.6Zr alloy showed that the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the as-cast alloy were 245 MPa, 135 MPa and 14.4%, respectively. In order to further explore the potential of the material, the hot extrusion process of variable temperature (250 °C, 300 °C and 350 °C) was carried out on the basis of the as-cast alloy. After hot extrusion, the mechanical properties of the material have been greatly improved compared with as-cast alloy. The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the extruded alloy reached 327 MPa, 322 MPa and 24.9%, respectively. The reason for the significant improvement of material properties is mainly due to the dynamic recrystallization during thermal processing, which greatly fines the grains of as-cast alloy. Moreover, the experimental results shown that the corrosion performance of the alloy after hot extrusion at 300 °C is also optimal.

The demand for aluminum alloys is increasing, as are the demands for higher strength, with the aim of using lighter products for a greener environment. To achieve high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys, the melt is rapidly solidified using the melt-spinning technique to form ribbons, which are then plastically consolidated by extrusion at elevated temperature. Different chemical compositions, based on adding the transition-metal elements Mn and Fe, were employed to remain within the limits of the standard chemical composition of the AA5083 alloy. The samples were systematically studied using light microscopy, scanning electron, and transmission microscopy with electron diffraction spectrometry for the micro-chemical analyses. Tensile tests and Vickers microhardness were applied for mechanical analyses, and corrosion tests were performed in a comparison with the standard alloy. The tensile strength was improved by 65%, the yield strength by 45% and elongation by 14%. The mechanism by which we achieved the better mechanical and corrosion properties is explained.
