This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discontinuous reinforced aluminum (DRA) composites are attractive as structural materials because of their desirable stiffness and strength to weight ratios and relative ease of manufacture. However, they typically display low tensile ductility and fracture toughness. In this work, the impact of post- fabrication deformation processing and heat treatment on the fracture properties of a 17.5 vol. % SiCsubp reinforced Al 6092 matrix composite is investigated. Process temperature, total strain and strain rate during extrusion were varied in order to explore the feasibility of obtaining Particle Stimulated Nucleation (PSN) of recrystallization during processing, with the goal of refining the matrix grain size. Additionally, various combinations of solution and aging treatments were investigated with the aim of obtaining a number of stable matrix microstructural conditions with varying levels of composite strength and fracture toughness. A preliminary investigation of fracture mechanisms and their dependence on the matrix aging state has also been carried out using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and is reported here.

Download or read book The Welding of Aluminium and Its Alloys written by G Mathers and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-09-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Welding of Aluminium and its Alloys is a practical user's guide to all aspects of welding aluminium and aluminium alloys. It provides a basic understanding of the metallurgical principles involved showing how alloys achieve their strength and how the process of welding can affect these properties. The book is intended to provide engineers with perhaps little prior understanding of metallurgy and only a brief acquaintance with the welding processes involved with a concise and effective reference to the subject.It is intended as a practical guide for the Welding Engineer and covers weldability of aluminium alloys; process descriptions, advantages, limitations, proposed weld parameters, health and safety issues; preparation for welding, quality assurance and quality control issues along with problem solving.The book includes sections on parent metal storage and preparation prior to welding. It describes the more frequently encountered processes and has recommendations on welding parameters that may be used as a starting point for the development of a viable welding procedure. Included in these chapters are hints and tips to avoid some of the pitfalls of welding these sometimes-problematic materials. The content is both descriptive and qualitative. The author has avoided the use of mathematical expressions to describe the effects of welding.This book is essential reading for welding engineers, production engineers, production managers, designers and shop-floor supervisors involved in the aluminium fabrication industry. - A practical user's guide by a respected expert to all aspects of welding of aluminium - Designed to be easily understood by the non-metallurgist whilst covering the most necessary metallurgical aspects - Demonstrates best practice in fabricating aluminium structures

This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is known to result in a complex microstructural development, with features that remain unexplained, such as: the formation of the onion rings structure. Moreover, various microstructural factors have been suggested to control the strength in Al-Mg AA5xxx welds, without identifying their relative contribution. Furthermore, the influence of the basemetal microstructural parameters (e.g. grains, intermetallic particles, stored energy) on the microstructure-property development has not been previously investigated. These issues are addressed in the present study.
