The focus of this book is the study of the physical and mechanicalmetallurgy of aluminum alloys produced by processing methods. Itaddresses progress in research, development, testing andapplication of aluminum sheet, plate, extrusions, forgings, andother products in end uses. Those applications includetransportation, such as automotive, aerospace and marine, packagingand other key areas. A collection of papers from the ahref="http://www.tms.org/Meetings/Annual-07/AnnMtg07Home.html"target="_blank"2007 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition/a heldin Orlando, Florida, February 25 -- March 1, 2007.

This book presents advancements in aluminum for the marketplace, covering all aspects of the physical and mechanical metallurgy of alloys. It addresses fundamental and applied research as well as product development, testing and implementation of aluminum foil, sheet, plate, extrusions, forgings and composites for end applications including automotive, aerospace and marine transportation and packaging. Specific sections include development and applications; processing and properties; modeling; alloy characterization; corrosion and protection; and composites and foams.

This proceedings volume from the 2001 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition covers advances made in the area of scientific understanding of technological application of lightweight alloys. Papers focus on fundamental science as well as application and concentrate on scientific advances in aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and beryllium alloys and their composites. Processing, structure-property relationship, failure mechanisms, and advanced joining themes are also discussed.

This book details aluminum alloys with special focus on the aluminum silicon (Al‐Si) systems – that are the most abundant alloys second only to steel. The authors include a description of the manufacturing principles, thermodynamics, and other main characteristics of Al‐Si alloys. Principles of processing, testing, and in particular applications in the Automotive, Aeronautical and Aerospace fields are addressed.

The 2015 collection will include papers from the following symposia: Alumina and Bauxite Aluminum Alloys: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications Aluminum Processing Aluminum Reduction Technology Cast Shop for Aluminum Production Electrode Technology for Aluminum Production Strip Casting of Light Metals

The two volumes IFIP AICT 397 and 398 constitute the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems, APMS 2012, held in Rhodes, Greece, in September 2012. The 182 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the two volumes. They are organized in 6 parts: sustainability; design, manufacturing and production management; human factors, learning and innovation; ICT and emerging technologies in production management; product and asset lifecycle management; and services, supply chains and operations.

Recycling and Reusing of Engineering Materials: Recycling for Sustainable Developments covers the latest research and developments in recycling and reusing processes, including new fundamental concepts, techniques, methods and process flows. The book provides applications of these novel technologies to recycling processes and analyzes new and modern ways of recycling techniques. It provides a comprehensive literature review on fundamental aspects of recycling processes, recycling goals, characterization of waste streams, legislative policies and evaluation, electronic recycling, aircraft recycling, recycling processes, energy savings and issues, environmental issues, societal issues, recycled materials, market development for recycling, processing facilities, and awareness and importance of recycling safety. The book is an indispensable reference for researchers in academia and industry. Scientists can use this book for literature reviews and experimental details, and the industry can use its comprehensive detail for literature reviews and to upgrade their processes and systems. Provides the latest information on recycling and reusing processes Includes the results of laboratory experiments from the recycling of electronic waste, recycling of composites, and of aircraft and plastics Covers radioactive waste treatment and biological waste disposal Written by a team of authors with teaching and industrial experience
