This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising demand for improved fuel economy and structural efficiency are the key factors for use of aluminum alloys for light weighting in aerospace industries. Precipitation strengthened 2XXX and 7XXX aluminum alloys are the key aluminum alloys used extensively in aerospace industry. Welding and joining is the critical step in manufacturing of integrated structures. Joining of precipitation strengthened aluminum alloys using conventional fusion welding techniques is difficult and rather undesirable in as it produces dendritic microstructure and porosities which can undermine the structural integrity of weldments. Friction stir welding, invented in 1991, is a solid state joining technique inherently benefitted to reduces the possibility of common defects associated with fusion based welding techniques. Weldability of various 2XXX and 7XXX aluminum alloys via friction stir welding was investigated. Microstructural and mechanical property evolution during welding and after post weld heat treatment was studied using experimental techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, hardness testing, and tensile testing. Various factors such as peak welding temperature, cooling rate, external cooling methods (thermal management) which affects the strength of the weldment were studied. Post weld heat treatment of AL-Mg-Li alloy produced joint as strong as the parent material. Modified post weld heat treatment in case of welding of Al-Zn-Mg alloy also resulted in near 100% joint efficiency whereas the maximum weld strength achieved in case of welds of Al-Cu-Li alloys was around 80-85% of parent material strength. Low dislocation density and high nucleation barrier for the precipitates was observed to be responsible for relatively low strength recovery in Al-Cu-Li alloys as compared to Al-Mg-Li and Al-Zn-Mg alloys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a novel solid-state process known to facilitate the joining of materials that exhibit a poor response to conventional fusion welding technologies. Certain aluminium alloys in the 2xxx series are prime examples as their use in welded structures is desirable, but typically avoided in light of their acute sensitivity to solidification cracking. The desire to use these high strength alloys has historically resulted in less ideal joining methods such as brazing or riveting being implemented. To date, the majority of FSW research on these alloys has involved wrought products, leaving a clear void in the understanding of how those produced through aluminum powder metallurgy (APM) alloys respond. To address this shortfall, the response of two commercially relevant APM alloys denoted as PM2618 (Al-2.3Cu-1.6Mg-1Fe-1Ni-0.5Sn) and TC2000 (Al-1Mg-1.5Sn) to FSW was investigated in this study. The rotation speed and traverse rate of the tool were the principal process variables considered. In the PM2618 a variety of processing parameter combinations were found to produce defect-free welds when inspected through X-ray techniques coupled with metallographic inspection of polished cross sections. The stirred material was found to have a highly refined microstructure, showing an increase in hardness but without any apparent change to the nominal phase composition. Bend testing revealed significant improvements as a result of FSW. These included a near doubling of ductility, an average increase in yield strength in bending of 33%, and a 35% improvement in UBS. Bending fatigue behaviour was also investigated, with averaged gains of 27% measured relative to the as-sintered base material. Conversely, it was found that the TC2000 responded negatively to all processing parameter combinations used. While the stirred material in the microstructure exhibited a similar degree of refinement as seen in the PM2618, through X-ray examination it was found that specimen also contained tunnel defects and voids to varying extents.

Download or read book Aluminum Lithium Alloys written by N Eswara Prasad and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because lithium is the least dense elemental metal, materials scientists and engineers have been working for decades to develop a commercially viable aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloy that would be even lighter and stiffer than other aluminum alloys. The first two generations of Al-Li alloys tended to suffer from several problems, including poor ductility and fracture toughness; unreliable properties, fatigue and fracture resistance; and unreliable corrosion resistance. Now, new third generation Al-Li alloys with significantly reduced lithium content and other improvements are promising a revival for Al-Li applications in modern aircraft and aerospace vehicles. Over the last few years, these newer Al-Li alloys have attracted increasing global interest for widespread applications in the aerospace industry largely because of soaring fuel costs and the development of a new generation of civil and military aircraft. This contributed book, featuring many of the top researchers in the field, is the first up-to-date international reference for Al-Li material research, alloy development, structural design and aerospace systems engineering. Provides a complete treatment of the new generation of low-density AL-Li alloys, including microstructure, mechanical behavoir, processing and applications Covers the history of earlier generation AL-Li alloys, their basic problems, why they were never widely used, and why the new third generation Al-Li alloys could eventually replace not only traditional aluminum alloys but more expensive composite materials Contains two full chapters devoted to applications in the aircraft and aerospace fields, where the lighter, stronger Al-Li alloys mean better performing, more fuel-efficient aircraft

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material and manufacturing property requirements for selection and application of 3rd generation aluminium-lithium (Al–Li) alloys in aircraft and spacecraft are discussed. Modern structural concepts using Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Friction Stir Welding (FSW), SuperPlastic Forming (SPF) and selective reinforcement by Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) are also considered. Al–Li alloys have to compete with conventional aluminium alloys, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) and GLAss REinforced FMLs (GLARE), particularly for transport aircraft structures. Thus all these materials are compared before discussing their selection for aircraft. This is followed by a review of the aluminium alloy selection process for spacecraft. Actual and potential applications of 3rd generation Al–Li alloys are presented. For aircraft it is concluded that the competition between different material classes (aluminium alloys, CFRPs and FMLs) has reached a development stage where hybrid structures, using different types of materials, may become the rule rather than the exception. However, aluminium alloys are still the main contenders for spacecraft liquid propellant launchers.

Download or read book Corrosion Behavior of Friction Stir Welded High Strength Aluminum Alloys written by J. B. Lumsden and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friction stir welding (FSW), a relatively new solid state joining process, is used to join aluminum alloys of all compositions including alloys essentially considered unweldable. During FSW, a rotating tool provides a continual hot working action, plasticizing metal within a narrow zone at the join line, while transporting metal from the leading face of the probe to the trailing edge as the tool moves along the interface. Although melting does not occur during FSW, temperatures are sufficiently high and times at temperature sufficiently long to cause dissolution, nucleation, and/or coarsening of strengthening precipitates. The temperature-time profile changes with distance from the nugget causing a gradient in micro structure and precipitate morphology. The altered micro structure in the weld zone becomes sensitized in some high strength aluminum alloys. Results presented assess the pitting, intergranular, and SCC corrosion behavior of FSW 7XXX and 2XXX alloys. Progress in understanding the changes in microstructure responsible for the sensitization will be discussed. The presentation also will include evaluations of approaches for corrective measures.

This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metallurgy and Design of Alloys with Hierarchical Microstructures covers the fundamentals of processing-microstructure-property relationships and how multiple properties are balanced and optimized in materials with hierarchical microstructures widely used in critical applications. The discussion is based principally on metallic materials used in aircraft structures; however, because they have sufficiently diverse microstructures, the underlying principles can easily be extended to other materials systems. With the increasing microstructural complexity of structural materials, it is important for students, academic researchers and practicing engineers to possess the knowledge of how materials are optimized and how they will behave in service. The book integrates aspects of computational materials science, physical metallurgy, alloy design, process design, and structure-properties relationships, in a manner not done before. It fills a knowledge gap in the interrelationships of multiple microstructural and deformation mechanisms by applying the concepts and tools of designing microstructures for achieving combinations of engineering properties—such as strength, corrosion resistance, durability and damage tolerance in multi-component materials—used for critical structural applications. Discusses the science behind the properties and performance of advanced metallic materials Provides for the efficient design of materials and processes to satisfy targeted performance in materials and structures Enables the selection and development of new alloys for specific applications based upon evaluation of their microstructure as illustrated in this work
