| Sumario: | Aluminium extrusion of 6xxx series alloys is gaining more and more importance and indispensable in the market for applications in automotive (great potential for EV in the near future by 2030), construction, architecture, electronics, marine and rail transport. The 6000 series alloys can be divided into soft alloy (e.g. 6060, 6063) and hard alloy (e.g. 6005A, 6061, 6082) for different applications based on customer’s requirements for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, surface finishing (powder coating and anodizing) and heat treatment. To produce good quality extrudates with quality that can meet customer’s stringent requirements has become a challenging job nowadays for extruders in developing country like Malaysia. In order to be competitive in the global market, the products have to be produced at minimum cost and just-in-time to meet the committed delivery date. This will require a very good implementation of quality system in the production to ensure customer’s satisfaction is achieved from time to time. Based on the real experiences of working in an international scale extruder, the effective methods taken to improve product quality and productivity are elaborated throughout the chapter. |
