Aluminum alloys are divided into two major categories: wrought and casting alloys. A further differentiation for each category is based primary on mechanism of property development...
Heat treating processes for aluminum are precision processes. They must be carried out in furnaces properly designed and built to provide the thermal conditions required, and adequately...
Friction stir welding (FSW) is an innovative solid-state material joining method and it has been one of the most significant joining technology developments in the last two decades...
Aluminum castings have played an integral role in the growth of the aluminum industry since its inception in the late 19th century. The first commercial aluminum products were castings...
Material of complex specified properties, such as strength, ductility, fracture resistance and stress corrosion cracking resistance are required for the application in structures operating...
The important alloying elements and impurities are listed here alphabetically as a concise review of major effects. Some of the effects, particularly with respect to impurities, are not well documented...
The fast fracture of high-strength aluminum alloys appears to be closely involved with the fracture or cavitations of dispersoid particles, in the size range 0.1-0.5 碌m. which are present in high volume ...
The fracture characteristics of welds of various aluminum alloys were evaluated by means of tear and notch-tensile tests. The tear resistance and notch toughness of welds are generally greater than ...
Aluminum alloys that contain appreciable amounts of soluble alloying elements, primarily copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc, are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) ...
The main groups of aluminum alloys which are the most often used in practice besides technically pure aluminum are AlMn, AlMg, AlMgMn, AlMgSi, AlZnMg, and AlZnMgCu alloys. These are wrought ...
