Aluminum Alloys
BY Nong Gao
Aluminium is the world’s most abundant metal and is the third most common element, comprising 8% of the Earth’s crust. The versatility of aluminium makes it the most widely used metal after steel. By utilising various combinations of their advantageous properties such as strength, lightness, corrosion resistance, recyclability, and formability, aluminium alloys are being employed in an ever-increasing number of applications. In the recent decade, a rapid new development has been made in production of aluminium alloys, and new techniques of casting, forming, welding, and surface modification, have been evolved to improve the structural integrity of aluminium alloys.

Integral Materials Modeling: Towards Physics-Based Through-Process Models
By Günter Gottstein
Adopting a holistic approach to materials simulation, this monograph covers four very important structural materials: aluminum, carbon steels, superalloys, and plastics. Following an introduction to the concept of integral modeling, the book goes on to cover a wide range of production steps and usage, including melt flow and solidification behavior, coating, shaping, thermal treatment, deep drawing, hardness and ductility, damage initiation, and deformation behavior.

Aluminium in Building
by John Lane
First published in 1992. Aluminium is a relatively new material, first used on a commercial basis just over 100 years ago. Today it has taken its place alongside other traditional materials as an established building element. In this variable reference source, John Lane discusses the history and development of aluminium usage in the building industry. Its characteristics of strength, lightness and durability, coupled with easy formability, make it and ideal medium for this market. The first section of this book is a general discussion of the metal, covering such areas as its properties, alloys, fabrication, joining and finishing. The second part details the
aspects of aluminium which are of particular importance in construction, while the final section highlights some of its major uses in architecture and building. The text is amply illustrated with diagrams and photographs, and the appendices provide the reader with comprehensive details of relevant standards and contact addresses.

Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminium: Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminium Using Chitosan / Polyaniline/ Zinc Oxide Nanocomposties Coatings
by R. Mohan Raj
Al2O3-PAni-chitosan-ZnO coatings were synthesized on Al using bath 3-5. The conditions for getting better quality coatings were optimized by carrying out at various concentration, voltage, time. The properties of the synthesized biopolymer coatings obtained from the above baths such as thickness and growth rate were evaluated. Finally, we conclude that maximum thickness 39.6 μm and growth rate 0.92μm/min are obtained for coating formed in 100 mg of chitosan in 0.2M aniline with 0.01M zinc nitrate electrolyte at room temperature. From SEM analysis, it can be concluded that incorporating further ZnO in copolymer film, the coating appear as flower-petal structure. EDX analysis and XRD investigations it can be concluded that, the crystalline nature of biopolymer coatings are composed of α-alu mina, polyaniline,Chitosan and ZnO phases. From the corrosion studies, the synthesized coatings have very good corrosion resistance than any other coatings. It can also be concluded that, the best biopolymer coating formed from 100 mg of chitosan in 1% acetic acid in 0.2M of polyaniline with 0.01M ZnO (bath 5) has very high corrosion potential than the coatings obtained from bath 3 and bath 5.
