Aluminum: properties and physical metallurgy
A collective effort of 53 recognized experts on aluminum and aluminum alloys. This book is a joint venture by world-renowned authorities and the Aluminum Association Inc. and ASM International.
Because lithium is the least dense elemental metal, materials scientists and engineers have been working for decades to develop a commercially viable aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloy that would be even lighter and stiffer than other aluminum alloys. The first two generations of Al…
This book examines the ways in which aluminium and its alloys satisfy the requirements of civil engineering structures and the applications in which they compete with steel. The first chapter presents aluminium alloys from the metallurgical and technological points of niew, whic…
