Offers coverage of the production and processing technologies encountered in the aluminum alloy industry. This book discusses analytical methods for aluminum alloy characterization as well as extractive metallurgy, smelting, master alloy formation, surface modification techniques, and recycling.

This one-of-a-kind reference examines conventional and advanced methodologies for the quantitative evaluation of properties and characterization of microstructures in metals. It presents methods for uncovering valuable information including precipitate mechanisms, kinetics, stability, crystallographic orientation, the effects of thermo-mechanical processing, and residual stress.
The editors of Analytical Characterization of Aluminum, Steel, and Superalloys enlist top industry researchers and practitioners from around the world to analyze the methodologies presented in their areas of...
