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 ...

P-type doping in high Al-content AlGaN alloys is a main challenge for realizing AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet optoelectronics devices. According to the first-principles calculations, Mg activation energy may be reduced so that a high hole concentration can be obtained by introducing nanoscale (AlN)5/(GaN)1 superlattice (SL) in Al0.83Ga0.17N disorder alloy. In this work, experimental evidences we...

In order to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminosilicate refractories by molten aluminum, alkaline fluoride NaF and cryolite Na3AlF6 powders were studied. Both physical and chemical properties are known to influence wetting and corrosion behavior. This paper devoted to determine the influence of alkaline fluoride and cryolite added to andalusite based castable on the reaction with a...

High strength aluminum alloys, especially those containing zirconium, are historically difficult to grain refine. Early efforts by Alcoa indicated that the addition of lithium to these alloys increases difficulty with grain refinement. Although grain refining of alloys 2090 and 2091 was possible, consistent results were not obtained. Statistically-designed experiments were used to quickly ident...

Raney catalysts were prepared by a combination of mechanical alloying and leaching as an alternative in the synthesis of Raney-Nickel catalysts. Binary Al-Ni and ternary Al-Ni-Fe alloys with nominal compositions Al65Ni35, Al75Ni25, Al65Ni30Fe5, Al75Ni20Fe5 (in atomic percent), were processed from pure elemental powders; they consisted mainly of the intermetallic B2 AlNi phase. Aluminum was sele...
