Handbook of Aluminum: Volume 2: Alloy Production and Materials Manufacturing

This reference provides in-depth coverage of the latest production and processing technologies encountered in the aluminum alloy industry. It discusses current analytical methods for aluminum alloy characterization as well as extractive metallurgy, smelting, master alloy formation, recent surface modification techniques, and recycling. The Handbook of Aluminum, Volume 2 examines environmental pollution and toxicity in each stage of aluminum alloy production and metal processing, illustrates microstructure evolution modeling, and describes work hardening, recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth.
