Metallurgy Interview Question:

Does the extrusion process for A355 AND A356 alloy effect on the amount of impact energy?

Submitted by: Administrator

Yes, it does. I am not an expert in these things, but I do know that the parameters of the extrusion process directly affect the crystalline matrix of the alloy, which in turn governs the physical characteristics of the alloy. As the differences can be quite significant, I would recommend checking with qualified references for pertinent details. I know that quenching and max temperatures are big issues. Good luck, sorry I could not be of greater assistance.
