One of the most important goals of aluminum alloy production by casting is the refinement of grain size, because coarse grain size immediately reflects in lower property levels. In the case of fixed ...
Metallurgical aspects The specific demands made on welded constructions require the application of the most suitable alloy. Pure aluminum and the Al-Mn alloy are still in use for the construction of containers and...
Weld Backing Aids The use of some form of back-up to maintain and shape in position molten aluminum on full fusion butt joints welded from one side only are numerous and take many forms...
In the chemical, cryogenic, aerospace, and nuclear industries, aluminum and its alloys are widely used and frequently need to be joined by the application of welding. To fulfill this demand...
Aluminum and its alloys can be joined by more methods than any other metal, but aluminum has several chemical and physical properties that need to be understood when using the various joining processes. The specific properties that affect welding are its oxide characteristics, its thermal, electrical...
Non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys constitute a group of alloys that rely solely upon cold work and solid solution strengthening for their strength properties. They differ from heat-treatable alloys in that...
Aluminum bronze is a type of bronze in which aluminum is the main alloying metal added to copper. A variety of aluminum bronzes of differing compositions have found industrial use, with most ranging ...
The growth in aluminum usage in transportation applications, relative decline in aluminum beverage can recycling, and increasing reliance of the fabrication industry on secondary aluminum have ...
October 16 MetalBiz--Brazil's primary aluminum output dropped by 9% to 125,400 tons in September from 137,800 tons during the same time last year, according to the country's aluminum...
Production of high quality semi-finished products and castings based on aluminum depends on quality of raw materials, especially master-alloys and alloying elements. Master-alloy could be considered as an...
