The aircraft airframe has been the most demanding application for aluminum alloys; to chronicle the development of the high-strength alloys is also to record the development of airframes. Duralumin, the ...

Copper alloy castings are used in applications that require superior corrosion resistance, high thermal or electrical conductivity, good bearing-surface qualities or other special properties. Casting makes it ...

The first packaging use of aluminum, closures on glass bottles, dates to the early 1900鈥檚. This was a successful application primarily because the closure could be made to hold tightly to the somewhat ...

Super plasticity is the property of certain metallic materials that very high elongations without contraction till breakage can be achieved at suitable working conditions. These elongations are from ...

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 ...

The evolution of ship performances promoted the need for the development of new Al-alloys with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, weldability, etc. The non-heat-treatable Al-Mg ...

Magnet wire of aluminum is a relatively new product; it utilizes EC aluminum. Its cross-sectional area must be 1.6 times that of copper wire to achieve equal direct-current resistance. Although this is a ...

Copper was the metal first used for conductors during the great development of electrical engineering in the early 1880鈥檚. However, the simultaneous rapid growth of the aluminum industry soon reduced ...

Aluminum alloys are used in transport aircraft are alloys primarily utilized today like 2024-T4, and the alloys having still higher strength (2014-T6, 7075-T6, 7079-T6 and 7178-T6). Where sheet is used, the ...

Historically, the superiority of weldable aluminum armor for protection against high explosive shell fragments was recognized about 60 years ago but it was not in use until the year 1960 when the first ...
