Aluminum 2002 Proceedings of the Tms 2002 Annual Meeting Automotive Alloys and Aluminum Sheet and Plate Rolling and Finishing Technology Symposia

This collection combines proceedings from two symposia: - Automotive Alloys - Aluminum Sheet and Plate Rolling and Finishing Technology, co-sponsored by the Aluminum Association Papers from the automotive alloys symposium cover several issues involved in the selection and characterization of aluminum alloys for automotive components in vehicles, including casting, forming, heat treatment, and recyclability. This section also discusses the microstructure evolution and formability performance of aluminum sheet under different deformation paths, such as balanced biaxial tension, electromagnetic pulse forming, tube bending, and hydroforming. Papers from the Aluminum Sheet and Plate Rolling and Finishing Technology symposium focus on various aspects of aluminum sheet and plate. Papers deal with various processing issues, with an emphasis on rolling; product characterization, using a variety of measurement techniques or through metallographic evaluations of microstructures and textures; aluminum applications in the automotive and construction industries; and issues of standards and welding, which directly influence the use of aluminum in a wide variety of applications.Das, Subodh K. is the author of 'Aluminum 2002 Proceedings of the Tms 2002 Annual Meeting Automotive Alloys and Aluminum Sheet and Plate Rolling and Finishing Technology Symposia' with ISBN 9780873395267 and ISBN 0873395263.
