Heat treating processes for aluminum are precision processes. They must be carried out in furnaces properly designed and built to provide the thermal conditions required, and adequately equipped with control instruments to insure the desired continuity and uniformity of temperature-time cycles. To insure the final desired characteristics, process details must be established and controlled carefully

Aluminum and its alloys can be joined by more methods than any other metal, but aluminum has several chemical and physical properties that need to be understood when using the various joining processes. The specific properties that affect welding are its oxide characteristics, its thermal, electrical, and nonmagnetic characteristics, lack of color change when heated,

The specific demands made on welded constructions require the application of the most suitable alloy. Pure aluminum and the Al-Mn alloy are still in use for the construction of containers and chemical appliances owing to their favorable prices and good corrosion resistance, wherever the demands made on the mechanical resistance are not excessive. Typical alloys for the manufacture of vessels and containers, and indeed as welding materials, are the non-heat-treatable alloys Al-Mg or Al-Mg-Mn, which still have a medium resistance in the soft state.

Heat treatment is the aluminum material on a certain medium, heated to a suitable temperature, holding at this temperature for a period of time in the future, and the use of different speeds for a cooling process, the aluminum material is the most important process steps. Today aluminum factory here on a brief introduction of

Aluminum owes its excellent corrosion resistance and its usage as one of the primary metals of commerce to the barrier oxide film that is bonded strongly to its surface and, that if damaged, re-forms immediately in most environments. On a surface freshly abraded and then exposed to air, the barrier oxide film is only 1

Extruded Aluminium Sections Aluminum extrusions are linear aluminum products highly valued in a wide spectrum of structural applications due to aluminum’s high strength-to-weight ratio and the cost effectiveness of the metal extrusion process. Like other types of metal extrusions, extruded aluminum is either hot extruded or cold extruded through a die, shaping aluminum stock into

Thermomechanical processes are defined in the broadest sense to include any combination of thermal or deformation processes that give rise to interactive microstructural features. The varieties of mechanisms involving the creation, rearrangement and elimination of dislocations and grain boundaries are reviewed to show the range of possibilities in microstructure and property production. The interactions of

The important alloying elements and impurities are listed here alphabetically as a concise review of major effects. Some of the effects, particularly with respect to impurities, are not well documented and are specific to particular alloys or conditions. Antimony is present in trace amounts (0.01 to 0.1 ppm) primary in commercial-grade aluminum. Antimony has a

Aluminum castings have played an integral role in the growth of the aluminum industry since its inception in the late 19th century. The first commercial aluminum products were castings, such as cooking utensils and decorative parts, which exploited the novelty and utility of the new metal. Those early applications rapidly expanded to address the requirements
