This paper deals with the determination of the basic corrosion characteristics of metallic materials used as components in car construction to achieve a lighter vehicle with higher rigidity, a more complex "hybrid" of diverse materials is needed for the car body structure. Due to the different types of material used in the manufacture of components and their interactions, the issue of assessing the impact of bimetallic corrosion is currently relevant. Based on the potential difference at the end of the corrosion test, it was possible to determine the "anode index", which determines the risk of degradation of materials due to bimetallic corrosion. In our case, a hot-galvanized steel sheet/Al alloy EN AW-6060 couple in deicing salt and hot-galvanized steel sheet/steel S355J0 couple in simulated acid rain solution (SARS) has proven to be "safest" and usable even for more aggressive environments. Hot-galvanized steel sheet/Al alloy EN AW-6060 in SARS solution is suitable for slightly aggressive environments. Stainless steel AISI 304/silumin A356 in deicing salt, stainless steel AISI 304/Al alloy EN AW-6060 in deicing salt, and stainless steel AISI 306/Al alloy EN AW-6060 in simulated exhaust gas environment (SEG solution) are not suitable for non-aggressive environments.

This study investigates flange fracture formation in unconventional incremental radial extrusion. This manufacturing technique involves using rings with a gradually increasing inside diameter for constraining the free flow of material in the radial direction. As a result, the shaped flange has a constant thickness and a significantly larger diameter than that formed using the standard extrusion process conducted without the use of rings.

This paper presents the effect of burnishing on the surface hardness, selected surface roughness parameters and material ratio of tubes made of an EN AW-6060 aluminum alloy after welding. The prepared specimens were subjected to a 141-TIG welding process, after which the surfaces to be burnished were given a finishing turning treatment with DURACARB's CCGT09T302-DL cutting insert to remove the weld face. After the turning process, the surface finish treatment was carried out by rolling burnishing, for which Yamato's SRMD burnishing tool was used.

The paper developed methods that can be employed to reduce the number of welds on a specific rail-vehicle frame door welded from the EN AW 6060 aluminum alloy profiles thermally processed into the T66 state. The profiles were welded by the GTAW method using an S Al 5087 (AlMg4,5MnZr) wire as the filler material. Tensile tests were performed on the supplied samples after welding to check the mechanical properties required.

This paper presents a new method for forming hollow flanged products. The method involves extrusion with the use of a sleeve moving in the opposite direction to that of the punch. A tube with a constant hole diameter and two different outside diameters, made of aluminum alloy EN AW 6060 was used as a material.

SPD (several plastic deformations) methods make it possible to obtain an ultrafine-grained structure (UFG) in larger volumes of material and thus improve its mechanical properties. The presented work focuses on the structural and mechanical changes of aluminium alloy AlMgSi0.5 (EN AW 6060) during processing by repeated extrusion through the ECAP rectangular channel.
