tailieunhanh - RECENT TRENDS IN PROCESSING AND DEGRADATION OF ALUMINIUM ALLOYS_1

Aluminum is the second most plentiful element on the earth and it became a competition in 19th century. The huge demand of aluminum is projected to get 70 million tons, over 30 millions being obtained from recycled scrap. The scope of aluminum ranges from household to space vehicles. Dramatic advances in casting,welding,forming and eco friendly methods of production have made aluminum and aluminum alloys highly attractive candidate for automotive and aerospace industry, because of their wide range of attributes such as high strength, resistance to corrosion, low density, high reflectively, high ductility and proven reliability | RECENT TRENDS IN PROCESSING AND DEGRADATION OF ALUMINIUM ALLOYS Edited by Zaki Ahmad Recent Trends in Processing and Degradation of Aluminium Alloys Edited by Zaki Ahmad Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
