Aluminium is a material of huge importance to the metal
manufacturing industry due to both its versatile properties and
diverse applications. By examining both aluminium and its alloys
from materials selection through to processing, potential uses can
be discovered to further exploit this valuable material.
Fundamentals of aluminium metallurgy: Production, processing and
applications from Woodhead
Publishing provides a comprehensive overview of the
production, properties and processing of aluminium, and its
applications in manufacturing industries. This broad ranging title
considers many issues of central importance in aluminium production
and utilization considering quality issues and design for fatigue
growth resistance.
A review of production and casting of aluminium and its alloys
examines the production of both primary and secondary aluminium
from sources of raw materials to energy efficiency. Metallurgical
properties of aluminium and its alloys are further explored with
particular reference to work hardening and applications of
industrial alloys. A concluding section focuses on processing and
applications of aluminium examining joining, powder metallurgy and
laser sintering as well as application of modern aluminium in
aircraft.
With its distinguished editor and team of expert contributors,
Fundamentals of aluminium metallurgy: Production, processing and
applications is a standard reference for researchers in metallurgy,
as well as all those involved in the manufacture and use of
aluminium products.
