“Machining Aluminium Alloys”

Abstract

ALUMINIUM was first produced commercially almost 100 years ago and is still a long way from realising its potential. Its high ductility, strength and toughness, light weight and corrosion resistance properties are well‐known. Mixed with particles or fibres of other materials, such as alumina, aluminium is now becoming the basis of a whole range of new metal matrix composites (MMC's) providing an extreme high strength‐to‐weight ratio.
