There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

A large quantity of scrap aircraft aluminum alloys in retired aircraft was used to produce cast
aluminum alloys as raw material, resulting in a decrease of the value. In this work, the …

Grain refinement of Zr–containing Al alloys has attracted extensive attention for many years
in both industry and academia, since “Zr–poisoning” phenomenon always happens when …

Materials are the back bone of any nation to develop novel materials with low cost and
enhanced properties. Amongst various available materials, aluminium holds a prominent …

In the present work, laser shock peening was applied to the ultra-high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu
alloys prepared by ingot metallurgy and spray forming. The microstructural evolution, pitting …

Aluminum alloys fabricated by spray forming (SF) technology are commonly followed by hot-
working without heat treatments. A new approach that is a pretreatment before hot-working …

A recently developed 7A99 Al alloy was subjected to hot extrusion, solid solution and
artificial aging. The microstructure evolution and precipitation behavior were examined, and …

The thermal deformation behavior of spray formed Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy was investigated by
the isothermal hot compression tests at the strain rates of 0.001–10 s− 1 with the …

A modified powder hot extrusion including gas atomization, pre-compaction and hot
extrusion was used to fabricate an ultrahigh strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sc (7055) alloy. The …

The 2195 alloys prepared by traditional casting and spray forming technology were
investigated by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray microscopy, electron probe microanalyser …
