About the Course
Join Michael Pfeifer, Ph.D., P.E. for this OnDemand Webinar.
There are a wide variety of wrought aluminum alloys, each capable of being processed in different ways in order to obtain specific properties. For many applications where aluminum is used, two primary properties of interest are strength and weight, and getting the strength needed requires an understanding of the metallurgical factors that affect aluminum strength.
In this webinar you will learn about metallurgical factors that influence wrought aluminum strength and how alloy composition, cold working, and heat treating are used to obtain specific strength. The knowledge you’ll gain will enable you to make better alloy selection decisions, have more meaningful discussions with suppliers, and solve quality problems faster.
What You'll Learn
The following topics will be discussed:
- Wrought aluminum alloy families and their alloy designations
- Composition and strength differences between the alloy families.
- Metallurgical changes that occur during cold-working, annealing, and precipitation strengthening heat treating, and the effects on aluminum strength.
- Effects of alloy composition on alloy strength.
- Temper designations for cold-worked and heat treated alloys.
Target Audience
Sales people and Sourcing Specialists
