Precipitation hardening aluminium alloys are widely used for automotive applications.To enhance the application of aluminium profiles, improved formability is needed.Tailor Heat Treated Profiles (THTP) with locally different material properties attempt to increase formability e.g.in bending processes.Tailoring of local properties is obtained by a local short-term heat treatment, dissolving the initial precipitate state (retrogression) and still allowing subsequent ageing.In the present study, the dissolution and precipitation behaviour of the aluminium alloy EN AW-6060 T4 was investigated during heating with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
