Aluminium alloys with a wide range of properties are used in engineering structures. These properties can be largely modified by changing the alloy composition and by cold working. Si, Cu, Zn and Mg are the most commonly used alloying elements in aluminium, which have sufficient solid solubility. The as-cast microstructure of cast aluminium alloys normally displays significant segregation and supersaturation. For this, homogenization of aluminium alloys is often done to improve workability and mechanical properties. This book is based on the research about influence of Cu content, cold...
