Two-stage ingot homogenizing lowers deformation resistance, enabling complex multi-hole pipe extrusion from higher-scrap aluminum.
Controlled Mn/Si ratio and two-step homogenization precipitate fine AlMnSi phases, easing extrusion while preserving post-brazing strength.
Controlled alloy composition and two-stage homogenizing reduce extrusion resistance, enabling complex multi-hole aluminum pipes from scrap-rich billets.
