Hot Deformation and Processing of Aluminum Alloys

This unique reference provides descriptions on techniques relating to the hot deformation of aluminum alloys. It provides detailed explanations on how this process relates to creep, superplasticity, cold working, and annealing processes. Chapter topics include information on hot work testing techniques, quality and defects in industrial processing, metal forming and deformation modes, and dispersoid and solute alloys. In addition, Hot Working of Aluminum Alloys: Microstructures, Properties, and Processing applies individual concepts to processes such as extrusion, rolling, forging, and thermomechanical processing.
