Brazing of Titanium with Aluminium Alloys

Titanium Carbon Aluminium : a Novel Grain Refiner for Aluminium-lithium Alloys

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...

Metallography of Aluminium alloys

This lecture aims at providing a survey of the metallographic techniques available for the examination of aluminium and its alloys. The information must be sufficient to be sure that the students and the users are able to choose the most suitable technique to solve their problems in the examination of samples. The lecture should contain a direct understanding of the main problems in the metallo...

Titanium Alloys

Although originally discovered in the 18th century [1], the titanium industry did not experience any significant advancement until the middle of the 20th century through the development of the gas turbine engine [2]. Since then, the aerospace sector has dominated worldwide titanium use with applications in both engines and airframe structures [3]. The highly desirable combination of properties,...

Wettability of Brazing Filler Metals on Copper and Copper Alloys

The possibility of alloying can not be avoided at the interface between molten brazing filler metal and base metal in brazing, so the wettability of brazing filler metal can not be easily explained theoretically. We used the original apparatus for wettability test and investigated the relation between the wettability of brazing filler metals of Ag-P-Cu and Ag-Cu-Zn-Cd systems on copper and the ...
