Abstract

3004 aluminum alloys have received wide range in automotive, packaging and building industries due to it is high strength, high corrosion resistance and good machinability. Besides, 3004 alloys commonly produced by Direct Chill Casting method. Furthermore, Twin Roll Casting method which is an alternative of traditional method, came forward in recent years. In the present work; 3004 aluminum alloys were prepared by twin roll casting. Aiming for high strength and good bendability, alternative thermo-mechanical processes were done in laboratories using laboratory mill and furnace. Mechanical tests were performed for indicating the required temper designation. Characterization of the samples was accomplished through metallographic investigation in order to examine the effect of process parameters and examining the morphology. In addition to this, Vickers micro-hardness, electrical conductivity tests and bending tests were performed on the samples for the characterization.
