Cracking is a major concern in welding aluminum alloys. Although weld solidification cracks can be eliminated through addition of filler alloy, the additives modify the alloy or base-metal constituents and may not always be desirable. High-energy beam processes, such as electron-beam welding, that result in minimal heat input reduce crack sensitivity, but their high cost limits their applicatio...

This paper deeply analyzes the main factors of the dissolved problems arising in the process of aluminum alloy hard anodizing, combined with the specific problems occurring in production practice, introduces in detail the method and thought to analyze and investigate the causes of dissolving, and puts forward targeted improvement technology. This paper is practically instructive and significant...

 Nowadays, light weight and high strength metals are being used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace. Using aluminum-magnesium alloys is an efficient way to reduce the weight of a specific part. These alloys have poor formability in room temperature thus they should be formed at elevated temperature. Warm hydroforming and hot metal gas forming are conventional methods to form ...
