Research of rheological properties of electrotechnical wire rod of aluminum alloys with transition and rare earth metals obtained by the method of continious casting and metal forming

The influence of the chemical composition of aluminum-based alloys, continuous casting and rolling parameters together with continuous casting and rolling-extruding on the properties of electro technical wire rod was studied. The installation for torsion is described. The method of determining the rheological characteristics for aluminum alloys with rare earth and transition metals in a wide range of variation temperature-velocity and deformation processing parameters are given. The curves of deformation resistance change of investigated alloys in the temperature range from 20 to 550 °С and strain rate equal to 0.5-10 s -1 are described.
