Metallurgical Considerations in Fracture Resistance
(2013-12-03)The application of toughness testing to alloy development has led to a number of high-strength aluminum alloys and special tempers of some alloys with outstanding combinations of strength and toughness. An underlying basis ... -
Understanding the Aluminum Temper Designation System
(2013-12-03)This chapter provides additional detail and illustrations for the use of temper designations in the aluminum industry today for both wrought and cast alloys. This discussion expands on the basic Aluminum Association Temper ... -
Rotary Forging
(2013-12-03)ROTARY FORGING, or orbital forging, is a two-die forging process that deforms only a small portion of the workpiece at a time in a continuous manner. Unfortunately, the term rotary forging is sometimes used to describe the ... -
Modeling and Simulation of the Forming of Aluminum Sheet Alloys
(2013-12-03)WITH ADVANCES in computer hardware and software, it is possible to model material processing, product manufacturing, product performance in service, and failure. Although the fine-tuning of product manufacturing and ... -
Color Metallography
(2013-12-03)The use of color in metallography has a long history, with color micrographs published over the past eighty-some years. A number of general articles have been published reviewing methods and applications. Natural color is ... -
Metallurgical Principles
(2013-12-03)The extensive use of metals over thousands of years, but in particular during the industrial age, can be attributed to their specific properties. In addition to their good electrical conductivityãassociated with good ... -
Introduction
(2013-12-03)The test methods and criteria used to evaluate the fracture characteristics of aluminum alloys are reviewed, and a substantial amount of representative test data for individual lots of aluminum sheet, plate, forgings, ... -
Selecting Aluminum Alloys to Resist Failure by Fracture Mechanisms
(2013-12-03)Though virtually all design and standard specifications require the definition of tensile properties for a material, these data are only partly indicative of mechanical resistance to failure in service. Except for those ... -
Color Metallography
(2013-12-03)Precipitation reactions are of great importance in engineering alloys. This general phenomenon occurs in many different alloy systems when one phase transforms into a mixed-phase system as a result of cooling from high ... -
Quantitative Characterization and Representation of Global Microstructural Geometry
(2013-12-03)It is the central precept of materials science that processing governs microstructure and the microstructure influences the properties and performance of materials. Consequently, quantitative characterization and mathematical ... -
Aluminum Alloy and Temper Designation Systems of the Aluminum Association
(2013-12-03)It is very useful for secondary fabricators and users of aluminum products and components to have a working knowledge of the Aluminum Association alloy and temper designation systems. The alloy system provides a standard ... -
Extrusion of Aluminum Alloys
(2013-12-03)ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOYS are very suitable for extrusion and many types of profiles can be produced from easily extrudable alloys. 6061 mentioned four times. -
Cold Extrusion
(2013-12-03)COLD EXTRUSION is a push-through compressive forming process with the starting material (billet/slug) at room temperature. During the process, however, the deforming material undergoes deformation heating (conversion of ... -
Understanding Wrought and Cast Aluminum Alloy Designations
(2013-12-03)The wrought alloy designation system consists of four numerical digits, sometimes preceded by a capital letter as indicated in Chapter 2. The first digit indicates the principal alloying elements, as described in this ... -
Deformation Processing
(2013-12-03)Metalworking processes are commonly classified as either hot working or cold working operations. Primary metalworking processes, such as the bulk deformation processes used to conduct the initial breakdown of cast ingots, ... -
Finite Element Method Applications in Bulk Forming
(2013-12-03)Metalworking, with its thousands of years of history, is one of the oldest and most important materials processing technologies. During the last 30 years, with the continuous improvement of computing technology and the ... -
Models for Fracture during Deformation Processing
(2013-12-03)In very broad terms, modeling of fracture during deformation processes has been a major focal point for production engineers since cracking first occurred as a source of scrap in manufacturing. G. Sachs, in his 1954 ... -
