Abstract :
The present work investigates the effect of cryorolling on the mechanical properties (yield strength, ultimate and hardness) of Al-6063 alloy along with its fatigue behavior. Al-6063 alloy is rolled for a thickness reduction up to 50% at liquid nitrogen temperature after subjecting it to the solution treatment for 2 hours at 520ºC. The properties of this cryorolled alloy have been compared with the properties of its solution treated bulk alloy. On the basis of experimental study, it was observed that the mechanical properties of the cryorolled alloy were improved in comparison to the solution treated alloy. The fatigue life of the cryorolled alloy was also found higher than that of solution treated bulk alloy in axial loading
