Aluminum Alloys 2002: Their Physical and Mechanical Properties : Proceedings of the 8th International Conference Icaa8 Cambridge, Uk, 2-5 July 2002 (Materials Science Forum)

This three-volume set comprises the proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Aluminium Alloys: Their Physical and Mechanical Properties. The papers present the viewpoints of the world aluminium experts concerning the basic understanding, and application, of aluminium alloys. The proceedings cover a wide range of related topics and represent the views of both academia and industry. The topics discussed include: casting and solidification processing; ingot and billet processing; recovery, recrystallization and texture development; phase transformations; joining; mechanical properties; physical properties; and alloy and product development. The papers also address experimentation on, and modelling of, the physical and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. A broad range of material applications, including transportation, packaging and structural engineering are considered.
