Fundamentals of Metallurgical Properties of Aluminium

Introduction

There are a wide variety of wrought aluminium alloys, each developed to provide specific properties.  Getting the strength you need in an aluminium alloy requires knowledge of the effects of alloy composition, cold-working, and heat treating on aluminium metallurgy and properties.

A good understanding of how aluminium alloys behave and what can be done to modify their properties is critical for being more productive and profitable.

With knowledge of aluminium metallurgy that you’ll gain from this course, you’ll be better able to:-

  • Select the most appropriate alloy and heat treating process for your application
  • Evaluate suppliers
  • Develop manufacturing processes
  • Solve quality problems

Objectives

    What you will learn about aluminium metallurgy. The following aspects of aluminium metallurgy are taught in this course:

    • The different families of wrought aluminium alloys
    • Composition and strength differences between the alloy families.
    • Relationship between metal strength and the microscopic structures that influence strength.
    • Effects of cold-working, alloying, and heat treating on aluminium microstructure and strength.
    • Aluminium temper designations for cold-worked and precipitation strengthened alloys.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is particularly valuable for:

  • AluminiumProcess Plant and all Industrial Plant Technical Professionals
  • Engineers, Supervisors, Operations and Maintenance personnel, as well as for Project and Consulting Engineers
  • Courses designed for non-metallurgists.
