superplastic forming (spf) is a manufacturing process utilized in the automotive industry to produce complex geometry aluminum or magnesium alloy components which cannot be fabricated at room temperature. this paper investigates the effects of the die entry radius and the interfacial friction coefficient on the required forming time and thickness distribution of a superplastic formed part. a co...

In this work, Al2O3, SiC, and TiB2 ceramic coatings with different formulations were produced on the surface of AA5052 matrix by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The corrosion behavior composites base metal (BM) was evaluated in a solution 0.5 M H2SO4 electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential (OCP) monitoring, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), impedance spectroscopy (EIS). mor...

Production of aluminum matrix composites is widespread because these material provide enhanced mechanical properties compared to aluminum. One the most important parameters of metal matrix composite production is uniform distribution of reinforcing nanoparticles in matrices using the stir-casting method. Second is ensuring high wettability, which is determined by evaluating the properties of ma...

In view of large interest in the improve of Al/Al alloy based Metal matrix Composite and high-temperature ceramics on the base of silicon carbide, a comprehensive review of the data on structure, properties and the known methods of processing of silicon carbide seems timely. The most striking feature of silicon carbide is its polytypism, i.e. formation of a great number of structural changes wi...

The presence of alloying elements, sometimes in a very small amount, affects mechanical properties one of these elements is Boron. In Aluminum industries, Boron master alloy is widely used as a grain refiner In this research, the production process of Aluminum –Boron master alloy was studied at first then, it was concurrently added to 2024 Aluminum alloy. After rolling and homogenizing the resu...

COST reduction is a key objective of modern airframe The 7449 and 7150 plates, respectively 30and 36-mm manufacture. This can be achieved by the design of materials thick, were provided by Pechiney CRV (Voreppe, France) with improved properties leading to weight reduction of the in a solutionized, quenched, and stretched condition (corresairframe structure and, therefore, reduction in fuel cons...

The Al-Mg-Ge alloy is one of the age-hardening aluminum alloy after solution heat treatment. It has been proposed that the age-precipitation behavior of Al-Mg-Ge alloy is different from that of Al-Mg-Si alloy according to our previous works about the microstructure on Al-Mg-Ge alloy over-aged at 523K. For example, The hardness of peak aged Al-1.0mass%Mg2Ge alloy is higher than that of Al-1.0mas...

This paper summarizes attempts to incorporate fl y ash into aluminum castings to decrease the energy content, material content, cost, and weight of selected industrial components, while also improving selected properties. It is shown that fl y ash can be incorporated into an aluminum-alloy matrix using stir casting and pressure infi ltration techniques. The sand and permanent mold castings, whi...
