 INTRODUCTION

This section focuses on the specific properties and main applications of aluminium alloys for processing.

These elements are to be completed by those of the articles Numerical Data on Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys for Processing. Unalloyed aluminum [M 443] and Numerical data on aluminum and aluminum alloys for processing. Converting aluminum alloys [M 445] .

In addition, readers will find all the information they need on the metallurgical phenomena that govern the properties of aluminum alloys in the article Heat treatment of aluminum alloys [M 1 290] in this treatise:

  • structural hardening ;

  • strain-hardening ;

  • softening by restoration and annealing.
