The diffraction of X-rays by age-hardening aluminium copper alloys.

High-strength age hardening copper–titanium alloys: redivivus

In this review the decomposition of supersaturated Cu–Ti solid solutions and subsequent microstructural evolution are discussed in terms of modern views of precipitation from solid solution. This update is motivated by an anticipated emergence of these alloys as technologically significant high-strength, high-conductivity, precipitation hardened alloys over the next decade replacing conventiona...

Modelling of Precipitation Hardening in Casting Aluminium Alloys

Precipitation hardening, because it involves the hardening of the material over a prolonged time, is also called age hardening, or ageing. By the appropriate heat treatment of precipitation hardening, the strength or hardness of some heat-treatable aluminium alloys can be enhanced by the formation of nano-meter sized second-phase precipitated particles within the original phase matrix. The fine...

Creep of Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys

This chapter constitutes an introduction to creep and to the creep response of Aluminium and its alloys. Its major goals are: to provide basic information on creep and its mechanisms to give a description of the more extensively used mathematical relations among creep variables (time, stress and temperature) to illustrate the creep response of pure Aluminium and of Al-Mg alloys to provide a syn...
