The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the efficiency. This works aims investigate degradation in mechanical properties alloy AA 5083 plates when exposed temperatures ranging from 25 300 °C. Quasi-static Isothermal tensile experiments were conducted ...

Superplastic deformation has a significant industrial application value due to the large elongation, which allows manufacturing parts with complex geometries but happens at elevated temperatures and low strain rates. Therefore, it requires alloys fine grain size whose grains tend grow processing temperatures. Second-phase particles can promote boundary pinning keep structure during superplastic...
