In the present paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured Al-Mg-Si based AA6061 alloy obtained by high energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering were reported. Gas atomized microcrystalline powder of AA6061 alloy was ball milled under wet condition at room temperature to obtain nanocrystalline powder with grain size of similar to 30 nm. The nanocrystalline powder was consolidated to fully dense compacts by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 500 degrees C. The grain size after SPS consolidation was found to be similar to 85 nm. The resultant SPS compacts exhibited microhardness of 190-200 HV100g, compressive strength of similar to 800 MPa and strain to fracture of similar to 15%. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
