Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser Surface Engineering of Aluminum Alloys presents a comprehensive overview of LSE approaches (laser surface melting, laser alloying, laser cladding, laser composite surfacing, laser shock peening) for all of the Al alloy systems, including the developing 8xxx series alloys. The book discusses in detail the influence of laser processing parameters on the development of microstructure, mechanical/electrochemical properties, residual stresses and defects. Laser surface engineering (LSE) of Al alloys is of considerable scientific and technological interest due to unique processing features such as rapid cooling rate, non-contact heating and superior process control. Aluminum (Al) alloys are the one of the most popular structural materials due to their ductility and high strength-to-weight ratio, and have been extensively used in aircraft, automobile and sports industries. However, these alloys often exhibit insufficient corrosion resistance, stress-corrosion cracking resistance, and wear resistance properties for applications in these industries. Significant efforts are now directed toward modifying the surface characteristics of these alloys for improved surface properties. Provides a comprehensive overview of laser surface processing approaches, including thermal aspects, compositional effects and microstructure development associated with each approach Features separate chapters/sections for all Al alloy systems, including newer emerging systems Provides a valuable reference for further research in the area Covers the techniques used for surface preparation of aluminum alloys for laser processing, including details such as focus parameters, nozzle designs, inert gas and safety relevant to operation of practical laser surface processing set-ups

Book excerpt: The major issue of energy saving and conservation of the environment in the world is being emphasized to us to concentrate on lightweight materials in which aluminium alloys are contributing more in applications in the twenty-first century. Aluminium and its related materials possess lighter weight, considerable strength, more corrosion resistance and ductility. Especially from the past one decade, the use of aluminium alloys is increasing in construction field, transportation industries, packaging purposes, automotive, defence, aircraft and electrical sectors. Around 85% is being used in the form of wrought products, which replace the use of cast iron. Further, the major features of aluminium alloy are recyclability and its abundant availability in the world. In general, aluminium and its related materials are being processed via casting, drawing, forging, rolling, extrusion, welding, powder metallurgy process, etc. To improve the physical and mechanical properties, scientists are doing more research and adding some second-phase particles in to it called composites in addition to heat treatment. Therefore, to explore more in this field, the present book has been aimed and focused to bridge all scientists who are working in this field. The main objective of the present book is to focus on aluminium, its alloys and its composites, which include, but are not limited to, the various processing routes and characterization techniques in both macro- and nano-levels.
