As a result of its unique properties, aluminum has been of key importance in many of the developments of the past century. Let’s look at that history and some great nonferrous products/applications along with their thermal treatments.
Why is aluminum’s story only about a century old? Because although aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the earth’s crust (8%), metallic aluminum was produced for the first time just 200 years ago.
As we shine the “light” on nonferrous this month, don’t miss what’s included in this issue. The Heat Treat Doctor® discusses the nonferrous topic of overaging.
Desire for electric cars is quickly gaining consumer momentum, and automakers are rapidly shifting focus to developing affordable, efficient electric vehicles (EVs) for the mass market. This is where aluminum structural components will further serve the automotive industry.
When heat treating aluminum and aluminum alloys, it is important to understand the challenges we face and why absolute control of process and equipment variability is so very critical.
When I look over the news of the day in the nonferrous segment, three things stand out: good times, advancements and illegal activity. Let's look at some examples of each.
Motor Wheel Service Distribution (MWSD), the European market distributor of Wheels India’s forged aluminum wheels, launched the next generation Xbrite+.
Scandium International Mining Corp. signed a memorandum of understanding with Weston Aluminium to jointly develop the capability to manufacture aluminum-scandium master alloy (Master Alloy).
