Abstract

The microstructure of Al 6061 powder milled from rapidly solidified flake and it's extrudate were investigated. The grain size of flake was about $0.8-1.5{\mu}m$ and the powder shape was spherical due to the milling condition. In the microstructure of extrudate, the unbinded powder boundary was found the front part of extrudate and all the macroscopic defects such as boundary defect, holes or cracks was not observed except the front part. It was found that the extrudate except 60cm of front part was useful part.
