ABSTRACT
In this study, the effect of extrusion temperature on the machinability of 6061 Al-alloy as cast and as matrix reinforced with 15% SiC particles were investigated for the as received and extruded at two different temperatures 600 and 620℃. Machinability of the 6061 Al-alloy is tested based on tool wear and surface roughness. The experimental work has revealed that decreasing the extrusion temperature from 620℃ to 600℃ %, results in increasing the tool wear by 50% and machined surface roughness by 9%.
