Handbook of Aluminum

This reference provides thorough and in-depth coverage of the latest production and processing technologies encountered in the aluminium alloy industry, discussing current analytical methods for aluminium alloy characterization as well as extractive metallurgy, smelting, master alloy formation, and recycling. "The Handbook of Aluminum: Volume 2" examines environmental pollution and toxicity in each stage of aluminium alloy production and metal processing, illustrates microstructure evolution modeling, and describes work hardening, recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth. The authors cover potential applications of various aluminium intermetallics, recent surface modification techniques, and types and causes of aluminium alloy corrosion.
