Property Control in Production of Aluminum Sheet: Part Three

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

At sufficiently high coiling temperature and time after hot rolling a fully recrystallized grain structure is usually generated by self-annealing, i.e. a fully soft (O-temper) condition is achieved. During subsequent cold rolling strain hardening significantly increases flow stress and reduces formability. Furthermore, the change from cube to a rolling texture ...

The Zinc-aluminium Die Casting Alloys

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

The zinc-aluminium die casting alloys New high performing zinc-aluminium ZA casting alloys (zA-8, ZA-12, ZA-27) give superior mechanical properties which designers can apply utilizing die casting technology. In general the ZA alloys are stronger, harder and offer more creep resistance than standard zinc alloys and can be used where bearing properties ...

Fracture Mechanics of Cold-Drawn Copper Bars

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Crack growth occurs in most materials through intense plastic deformation possibly combined with void growth and void coalescence. The region where these processes take place is very small or of about the same size as the crack tip opening displacement. It is difficult to study these processes experimentally and to model ...

Corrosion of Aluminum and Its Alloys: Forms of Corrosion

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Corrosion is the chemical reaction of a metal, in this case aluminum, with its environment, which leads to the deterioration of the properties of metals, aluminum in this case. Aluminum is a very reactive metal, but it is also a passive metal. This contradictory nature is explainable because nascent aluminum ...
