Abstract

An investigation has been done to study the evolution of the microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of AlMgSi alloy destined for the transport of electric energy, in function of the deformation caused by the cold drawing process. We identified that drawing of aluminum wire causes development of a fibrous texture of type <111> and <100>. We notice also that the electrical resistivity and mechanical resistance increases with the increasing of the deformation level. Characterization methods used in this work is: The Electron Back Scattered Diffraction EBSD, X-Ray diffraction, Vickers microhardness, Tensile test, Measuring electrical resistivity, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Diffraction Spectrum (EDS).
