Description
Aluminum Alloy Castings provides property
and performance data for all types of aluminum
alloy castings and reviews and describes the
factors that contribute to and affect those
properties, including composition,
microstructure, casting process, heat treatment, and
quality assurance. The volume features
extensive collections of property and performance
data, including previously unpublished aging
response curves, growth curves, and fatigue
curves. These data are presented in
consistent formats to enable easy comparisons among
different alloys and tempers.
The authors have endeavored to address all
of the casting process technologies available
for aluminum alloys. Engineering information
is included for expendable mold, permanent
mold, and pressure die casting processes and
their variations. The focus of the process
coverage is to review the effects of process
selection and process variables on casting
properties and performance. Representative
examples of aluminum castings applications
are provided.
This book will be of significant value to
materials and design engineers involved in the
evaluation, selection and specification of
aluminum casting applications and to casting
producers as a means of better
understanding, quantifying, improving, and promoting
the performance characteristics of aluminum
castings.
