Mechanical properties and stress-strain behavior were evaluated for several types of commercially fabricated aluminum matrix composites, containing up to 40% vol...

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...

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 are progressively used in the automobile industry due to several advantages such as low specific weight, good formability, good corrosion resistance and a nice surface appearance. The ...

Corrosion is the chemical reaction of a metal, in this case aluminum, with its environment, which leads to the deterioration of the properties of metals, aluminum in this case. Aluminum is a very reactive ...

Aluminum alloys that contain appreciable amounts of soluble alloying elements, primarily copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc, are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) ...

Aluminum owes its excellent corrosion resistance and its usage as one of the primary metals of commerce to the barrier oxide film that is bonded strongly to its surface and, that if damaged, re-forms ...

Aluminum may best be used by redesigning the dimension of the part to suit its characteristics. In this way, rigidity can be restored or even enhanced without increasing weight. The limit to this process is ...

Aluminum offers a wide range of properties that can be engineered precisely to the demands of specific automotive applications through the choice of alloy, temper and fabrication process. To name ...

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 ...
