Aluminium; alloying; alloy series; properties; phase diagram; microstructure

In recent years, aluminium and aluminium alloys are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries. Its high strength to weight ratio is responsible for its vast usage in structural applications. In the present study, aluminium alloys have been discussed in detail. The ensuing chapters discuss about the alloy series, their designation, heat treatment methods and followed by the effects of alloying additions. It is well known that, the principle aim of alloying is to enhance and amplify the properties of aluminium alloys. Hence, elements are added in calculated amounts for the optimization of properties. Aluminium alloys are finding increased applications in space, marine, brazing and transportation industries because of modified properties such as – excellent ductility, malleability, formability, corrosion & oxidation resistance, high electrical & thermal conductivity and increased strength, hardness, machinability & workability. Metallographers and metallurgists can learn a great deal from the phase diagrams, which are the starting point for our understanding of alloy systems. By analysing these binary and ternary phase diagrams with the help of microstructures, one can study the physical, mechanical and tribological properties of aluminium alloys.
