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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fatigue strengths of selected aluminum alloys as determined in tests of smooth and notched R.R. Moore Rotating Beam Fatigue Machines after various numbers of cycles. Multiple 6061 entries for various tempers and product forms.

FRACTURE MECHANICS is a multidisciplinary engineering topic that has foundations in both mechanics and materials science. From the perspective of a metallurgist, fracture mechanics often emphasizes mathematical mechanics, ...

Advanced computer simulation Technology is a powerful tool used to understand the critical aspects of heat transfer and fluid transport phenomena and their relationships to metallurgical structures and defect formation in ...
