Aluminum extrusion technologies are used in many areas of industry. One of the production parameters that affect the mechanical properties of the product after the extrusion process is the billet preheating temperature. In this research, hardness values of AA6060 alloy, which is one of the most widely used aluminium alloys today, were measured before and after the artificial aging process at different preheating temperatures, under constant manufacturing conditions and punching speed. The aim of the study is to reveal the effect of preheating temperature on the problem of not achieving the desired hardness values, which is frequently encountered as a result of production. As a result of the experimental study, the correlation between the preheat temperature and hardness was demonstrated by comparing the samples extracted from the samples produced with different preheating temperatures. According to the obtained data, a significant improvement was achieved in the hardness value of AA6060 alloy as a result of the extrusion and aging process by achieving the ideal preheating temperature.
