Effects of Ferro-Silicon addition, heat-treatment and plastic deformation on corrosion resistance of 6063 Aluminum Alloy

6063 aluminium alloy is widely used in architectural applications such as window and door frames because of its nice appearance acceptable strength. Its major alloying elements are magnesium silicon. Not many studies focused on the influence plastic deformation content post-processing quality corrosion resistance have been published. Considering that variation chemical composition could properties alloy, this work aims to investigate effects Ferro-Silicon addition, heat-treatment cold rolling Aluminium Alloy. 5000 g alloyed with 500 ferrosilicon was produced. Cast samples from were homogenized at 350 ºC before range 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% reduction. The behaviour produced evaluated using a potentiodynamic test 3.5wt % sodium chloride solution. results show addition FeSi cold- improved mechanical but has little effect resistance. Heat-treatment not caused significant impact alloy.
