Aluminium is derived from the mineral bauxite. Bauxite is converted to aluminium oxide (alumina) via the Bayer Process. The alumina is then converted to aluminium metal using electrolytic cells and ...

New hard facing materials and corrosion-resistant alloys broaden the market for laser cladding services. Laser cladding, a type of laser surface alloying, is a process that precisely applies a uniform ...

Use of aluminum tooling has been an ongoing discussion for years, and the resulting flow of information has been a key part of aluminum’s growth as a mold material alternative. This continuous growth ...

The application of the term heat treatable to aluminum alloys, both wrought and cast, is restricted to the specific operations employed to increase strength and hardness by precipitation hardening ...
