(Participant: A. Vazdirvanidis)

The paper with the title “Effect of natural aging of 6xxx series extrusions on the energy absorbance capacity” authored by Mr. Athanasios Vazdirvanidis, Dr. George Pantazopoulos, Mr. Anagnostis Toulfatzis, Mr. Andreas Rikos from ELKEME S.A. and Prof. Dimitrios Manolakos from N.T.U.A. was presented in the International Conference on Aluminium Alloys (ICAA15), 12-16 June 2016, Chongqing, China. The paper reviews the influence of natural aging in energy absorbance capacity of 6xxx series extruded profiles after artificial aging by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy, quasi-static compression and tensile tests.
