IN GENERAL, anodizing refers to conversion coating of the surface of aluminum and its alloys to porous aluminum oxide. The process derives its name from the fact that the aluminum part to be coated becomes the anode in an ...

High-strain-rate superplastic behavior has been investigated for Si3N4p/Al-Mg-Si (6061) composites with a V f=20 and 30 pct, respectively, where V f is the volume fraction of reinforcements. A maximum elongation was attained ...

Recrystallization of an AlMgSi alloy has been studied after deformation in torsion and plane strain compression. The main emphasis has been focused on describing the development of nuclei in shear deformed material, and a ...

ALUMINUM CASTING ALLOYS are the most versatile of all common foundry alloys and generally have the highest castability ratings. As casting materials, aluminum alloys have the following favorable characteristics: Good ...

ALUMINUM-SILICON ALLOYS are noted for their unique combination of desirable characteristics, including excellent castability and low density combined with good mechanical properties. One reference to 6061.

The heat treatable alloys contain amounts of soluble alloying elements that exceed the equilibrium solid solubility limit at room and moderately higher temperatures. The amount present may be less or more than the maximum ...

ALUMINUM OR ALUMINUM ALLOY products often have various types of finishes applied to their surfaces to enhance appearance or improve functional properties. This article discusses the methods employed in the cleaning, ...

Workability is a characteristic of the material/process system. The role of the material is measured by a simple test or tests and should be expressed in a quantitative form that is applicable universally. This measure is ...
