Processing And Properties Of Advanced Aluminum Alloys

Download or read book Processing and properties of advanced aluminum alloys written by John A. Wert and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project has as its focus microstructure control for improving fracture resistance of advanced aluminum alloys. Our progress report is divided into two major parts: Part I which is concerned with the quench sensitivity of the Al-Li-Cu-Mg alloy 2090 and the effect of quench rate on fracture behavior, and Part II which is concerned with the recovery and recrystallization mechanisms that occur in an alloy having a high density of dispersoid particles. The grain size of aluminum alloys can affect both strength and deformation behavior and often controls the degree of superplasticity during elevated temperature deformation. (jes).
