I hope that being the second woman to edit this respected publication is an indication of increasing and ongoing inclusion and diversity in the light metals community. TMS has always been welcoming to me, both as a woman and as a chemical engineer rather than a metallurgist. The aluminum industry has continued to change in the past year with the announcement of Elysis, a joint venture to scale up and commercialize a revolutionary smelting technology that emits oxygen and eliminates greenhouse gases. If successful, this technology could help solve one of the major challenges of our industry and our world. In the meantime, a number of manufacturers have introduced certified low-carbon products and products made with 100% recycled metal. No matter what smelting technology is used in the future, recycling, reduced energy consumption, and lower environmental impact will continue to be important to our industry. These proceedings reflect an incredible effort by all the authors and their organizations in conducting their research and preparing the manuscripts that are published here. I would like to thank all of them for their work; their contributions continue to make Light Metals the pre-eminent annual publication for technical information on aluminum production processes. As in the past, this volume contains research and development papers on aluminum pro- cesses organized into the traditional Light Metals symposia: Alumina and Bauxite; Aluminum Alloys, Processing, and Characterization; Aluminum Reduction Technology; Cast Shop Technology; and Electrode Technology for Aluminum Production. It also includes two special symposia for 2019: Ultrasonic Processing of Liquid and Solidifying Alloys and Scandium Extraction and Use in Aluminum Alloys. We are honored to also have included papers on aluminum processing from two joint symposia: REWAS 2019: Cast Shop Recycling Tech- nologies and the TMS-DGM Symposium on Lightweight Metals: A Joint US-European Symposium on Challenges in Light Weighting the Transportation Industry. This last sym- posium is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding between TMS and the German Materials Society (DGM). I would like to thank the subject chairs and symposium organizers for all of their hard work: Sébastien Fortin, Hiromi Nagaumi, Marc Dupuis, Pierre-Yves Menet, Lorentz Petter Lossius, Nigel Ricketts, John Grandfield, Dmitry Eskin, Mertol Gökelma, Eric Nyberg, Wim Sillekens, Norbert Hort, and Jürgen Hirsch. I also appreciate the guidance of the previous editors, Olivier Martin and Arne Ratvik. Finally, my sincere thanks to all the wonderful staff at TMS who guided us through the production of these proceedings.

  • Aluminium Alloys Chemical Composition Pdf
    Aluminium alloys chemical composition pdf Continue Alloy in which aluminum is the predominant lye frame of aluminum welded aluminium alloy, manufactured in 1990. Aluminum alloys (or aluminium alloys; see spelling differences) are alloys in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. Typical alloy elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. There are two main classifications, namely casting alloys and forged alloys, both further subdivided into heat-treatable and heat-free categories. Approximately 85% of aluminium is used for forged products, e.g. laminated plates, foils and extrusions. Aluminum cast alloys produce cost-effective products due to their low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strength than forged alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where high silicon levels (4.0–13%) contributes to giving good casting features. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where a low weight or corrosion resistance is required. [1] Alloys composed mostly of aluminium have been very important in aerospace production since the introduction of metal leather aircraft. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are both lighter than other aluminium alloys and much less flammable than other alloys containing a very high percentage of magnesium. [2] Aluminum alloy surfaces will develop a white layer, protective of aluminum oxide, if not protected by proper anodization and/or dyeing procedures. In a wet environment, galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminum alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with a more positive corrosion potential than aluminum, and an electrolyte is present that allows the exchange of ions.

No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy or reliability of this information. Forewords Nonferrous metals are non-iron-based metals such as aluminum and aluminum alloys, copper and copper alloys, nickel and nickel alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, and magnesium and magnesium alloys. Today, nonferrous metals are used in various welding constructions for diverse industrial applications. However, their weldability is quite different from that of steel, due to specific physical and metallurgical characteristics. Therefore, the welding procedure for nonferrous metals should be thoroughly examined taking into account the inherent characteristics of the particular nonferrous metal to be welded, in order to get sound weldments. This textbook focuses on the arc welding of aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, copper alloys, nickel, and nickel alloys that are used more extensively over other nonferrous metals for industrial applications. This textbook consists of three chapters: Chapter 1: Arc Welding of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys Chapter 2: Arc Welding of Copper and Copper Alloys Chapter 3: Arc Welding of Nickel and Nickel Alloys iii Chapter 1 Arc Welding of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys Contents Introduction 2 1.

W ork of the Technical Committee : Committee for Aluminium Conductors. H. Schmitt (chairman) (Z. Metalllcunde, 1934, 25, 170-172).— The behaviour of the following types of free transmission conductors on the Island of Sylt during 5 yrs.’ exposure is described: (A) 99-2% aluminium after slowly cooling from 350° C., (B) 99-6% aluminium, (C) 99-2% aluminium quenched from 500° C., Aldrey, and copper. The conductors consisted of several strands of wire twisted into a rope. The breaking load of Aldrey decreased from 180 to 160 kg., that of alum inium B and C from about 85 to 78 kg., and that of aluminium A from 80 to 60 kg. in 5 yrs. The decrease was linear throughout the period for Aldrey and aluminium A, but for aluminium B and C the decrease occurred only during the first 2-3 yrs., after which the strength remained constant. For copper the strength remained constant for the first 3 yrs., then commenced to decrease linearly with time of exposure. The surface of aluminium B and C became covered with a protective film which appeared to act as a preventive against further corrosion; the films formed on the other metals were porous and poorly adherent, and therefore afforded little protection.— A.

  • Aluminium Cables in Automotive Applications PRESTUDY of ALUMINIUM CABLE USES in SCANIA PRODUCTS & FAILURE ANALYSIS and EVALUATION
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM MATERIALTEKNIK, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2016 Aluminium cables in automotive applications PRESTUDY OF ALUMINIUM CABLE USES IN SCANIA PRODUCTS & FAILURE ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION MAN YU KTH SKOLAN FÖR INDUSTRIELL TEKNIK OCH MANAGEMENT Abstract The increasing demand of light constructed vehicles as well as soaring price of copper metal owing to limited nature resources have been promoting the use of aluminium metal as an alternative conductor of automotive cables. This thesis work is to lay theoretical foundations for further research and development regarding the introduction of new automotive cables i.e. aluminium cables. Current application of automotive aluminium cables in automotive industry as well as failure analysis and evaluation approaches with respect to aluminium cables in automotive settings can serve as a baseline for further research regarding the implementation of aluminium cables in Scania products. Before investigating probable substitutions in terms of automotive cable uses in Scania products as well as the following consequences, historic overview concerning aluminium cables in automotive applications is stated while major challenges and current technical progresses are established, indicating that large-sized aluminium cables such as battery cables have been implemented in some vehicles and the uses of aluminium cables in lower power segments are expected in near future. Due to inferior strength of aluminium conductor as well as its poor contact behaviors while deteriorations by galvanic corrosion, oxidization or tension relaxes, etc, might occur in contact interface, interruptions in aluminium conductor and its termination are challenging the adoption of aluminium cables in present automotive cable harness system. In order to assess performances of aluminium cables in automotive vehicles, necessary evaluations shall be conducted from mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical aspects.

Georg Richter (Z. Metallkunde, 1937, 29, (7), 214-217).—Tests carried out on the Wornle fatigue-testing machine with aluminium wires with smooth and rough surfaces indicate that only sharp and deep notches reduce the fatigue limit; thus, impressions made with another similar wire act as stress concentration points, inducing fatigue fracture only when their depth exceeds 3% of the diameter of the wire, and a similar effect is produced by sharp scratches of insignificant depth. Impressions made with a pointed tool are less dangerous when shallow and more dangerous when deep than similar impressions made by filing.—A. R. P. ♦Limit of the Elasticity of an Aluminium Rod Composed of Comparatively Small Crystal Grains. Miyabi Sugihara (Mem. Coll. Sci. Kyoto Imp. Univ., 1937, 20, (1), 27-33).—[In English.] In cold-worked commercial aluminium rods, heat-treated for a constant time, at temperatures above 200° C. and below the melting point, the crystal grains grow larger with increase of the heat-treatment temperature. With increase of annealing temperature, the elastic limit of aluminium decreases slowly at first from 603 kg./cm.2 a t 25° to 200° C., then rapidly from 200° to about 300° C., and then slowly to about 630° C., at which it attains the value 81 kg./cm.2. The elastic limit, L, expressed as elongation per unit length, is related to z, the grain number per unit length of tcst-piece, by the empirical relation L — L0( 1 — e~az), where L0 is the value'of L for z = oo, and has the value 8-88 X 10~4, and a = 0-000151.

  • Aluminum and Its Alloys
    02Kissell Page 1 Wednesday, May 23, 2001 9:52 AM Materia: Ciencia de los Materiales Fuente: Handbook of Materials for Product Design – Charles Harper, 3° Ed. 2 Aluminum and Its Alloys J. Randolph Kissell TGB Partnership Hillsborough, North Carolina 2.1 Introduction This chapter describes aluminum and its alloys and their mechanical, physical, and corrosion resistance properties. Information is also pro- vided on aluminum product forms and their fabrication, joining, and finishing. A glossary of terms used in this chapter is given in Section 2.10, and useful references on aluminum are listed at the end of the chapter. 2.1.1 History When a six-pound aluminum cap was placed at the top of the Wash- ington Monument upon its completion in 1884, aluminum was so rare that it was considered a precious metal and a novelty. In less than 100 years, however, aluminum became the most widely used metal after iron. This meteoric rise to prominence is a result of the qualities of the metal and its alloys as well as its economic advantages. In nature, aluminum is found tightly combined with other elements, mainly oxygen and silicon, in reddish, clay-like deposits of bauxite near the Earth’s surface. Of the 92 elements that occur naturally in the Earth’s crust, aluminum is the third most abundant at 8%, sur- passed only by oxygen (47%) and silicon (28%). Because it is so diffi- cult to extract pure aluminum from its natural state, however, it wasn’t until 1807 that it was identified by Sir Humphry Davy of En- gland, who named it aluminum after alumine, the name the Romans gave the metal they believed was present in clay.
