Advanced manufacturing processes such as near-net-shape forming can reduce production costs and increase the reliability of launch vehicle and airframe structural components through the reduction of material scrap and part count and the minimization of joints. The current research is an investigation of the processing-microstruture-property relationships for shear formed cylinders of the Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Ag alloy 2195 for space applications and the Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy C415 for airframe applications. Cylinders which had undergone various amounts of shear-forming strain were studied to correlate the grain structure, texture, and mechanical properties developed during and after shear forming.

The major issue of energy saving and conservation of the environment in the world is being emphasized to us to concentrate on lightweight materials in which aluminium alloys are contributing more in applications in the twenty-first century. Aluminium and its related materials possess lighter weight, considerable strength, more corrosion resistance and ductility. Especially from the past one decade, the use of aluminium alloys is increasing in construction field, transportation industries, packaging purposes, automotive, defence, aircraft and electrical sectors. Around 85% is being used in the form of wrought products, which replace the use of cast iron. Further, the major features of aluminium alloy are recyclability and its abundant availability in the world. In general, aluminium and its related materials are being processed via casting, drawing, forging, rolling, extrusion, welding, powder metallurgy process, etc. To improve the physical and mechanical properties, scientists are doing more research and adding some second-phase particles in to it called composites in addition to heat treatment. Therefore, to explore more in this field, the present book has been aimed and focused to bridge all scientists who are working in this field. The main objective of the present book is to focus on aluminium, its alloys and its composites, which include, but are not limited to, the various processing routes and characterization techniques in both macro- and nano-levels.

This book covers the most important aspects of lightweight metal alloys including history, physical metallurgy, overview of production technologies, alloy development, compositing, post-processing (heat treatment, surface engineering, bulk-deformation), and joining methodologies. It discusses the microstructural evolution, fractography, morphology of corroded and worn surface to enable easy understanding of the mechanism. The topics covered in this book include lightweight metallic materials, instrumental characterization of light weight metal alloys and composites, severe plastic deformation processing of aluminum alloys, solid-state welding of aluminum alloys, aluminum metal matrix composite for automotive and aircraft applications, and heat treatment of aluminum metal matrix composites. The book is highly useful for students, researchers, academicians, scientists, and engineers working on lightweight materials.

Additive manufacturing processes provide new avenues to additively repair or manufacture complex aerospace components. There has been limited success in additively manufacturing aluminum alloys and aluminum metal matrix composites that are susceptible to hot-cracking. Recently, the development of a transformative solid-state additive manufacturing process, Additive Friction Stir-Deposition (AFS-D), incorporated the benefits of additive manufacturing and severe plastic deformation processes that provided a new path to fabricate fully-dense aluminum alloy and aluminum metal matrix composite structures. In this work, the microstructural evolution and mechanical response of an Al-Cu-Mg metal matrix composite (MMC) containing 20 weight percent Al2O3 and an AA7050 isogrid structure was additively manufactured through the AFS-D process. Microstructural characterization of the tempered and overaged Al-MMC employed optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Electron Backscatter Diffraction. Additionally, to quantify the mechanical response of the tempered and overaged Al-MMC, quasi-static tensile experiments were conducted in the longitudinal and transverse orientation. Dynamic tensile testing was performed on the tempered and overaged AFS-D Al-Cu-Mg material in the transverse orientation using a Split-Hopkinson pressure bar. The resulting microstructural and mechanical analysis was captured via the internal state variable (ISV) plasticity damage model. The model is consistent with continuum level kinematics, kinetics, and thermodynamics. The following research provides a foundation for rapidly additively manufacture large MMC structures through AFS-D. This study produced a fully dense AA7050 isogrid structure was manufactured without the need for additional alloying elements. Three sections of the component that exhibit differing thermomechanical processing history were evaluated for the resulting microstructure and mechanical response. The microstructural characterization of the as-deposited AA7050 employed TEM, SEM, and EBSD. The as-deposited AA7050 exhibited a refinement of the constituent particles and grains within the microstructure. Additionally, to quantify the mechanical response of the as-deposited AA7050, quasi-static tensile and high rate tensile experiments were conducted. The Internal-State Variable Plasticity model was successfully modified to be able to capture material anisotropy as a function of precipitate free zones and secondary phases size within the grain.
