Review on Age Hardening of Aluminium Alloys for Industrial Applications
Hey, Guys! In this blog, I'll be talking about my one of the favorite topics related to metallurgy "Age Hardening" Aluminum Alloys are extensively used in the world with their most important use in vehicle, aerospace and defense sector because of their lightweight and exceptional strength due to Age Hardening effect, but their use and strengthening process is still very out of specific and other heat treatment processes, new discoveries and new Al alloys are much neglected industrially and on a research-level. Aluminum is a soft metal with a tensile strength of 8-11 MPa but its alloys have a strength of 200-400 MPa. Aluminum Alloys are extensively used industrially after Steel because of their extreme shear and tensile strength. The main reason behind this spectacular increase in strength of Al Alloys is because of Age Hardening effect. Age hardening effect was discovered in 1906 by Alfred William and its correct explanation and procedure were proposed by Merica, Walte
