Parametric Analyses of High-Temperature Data for Aluminum Alloys (repost)

The book is intended to be a handbook, a general reference, and a textbook. It contains the background educational materials on parametric analyses, extensive data, and previously unpublished master high-temperature curves for wrought and cast aluminum alloys.

ASM International has previously published extensive numeric factual data on the high-temperature tensile and creep properties of aluminum alloys in the book Properties of Aluminum Alloys: Tensile, Creep, and Fatigue Data at High and Low Temperatures. In addition to interest in the properties themselves, there is a great amount of interest in how these properties are analyzed to provide estimates of long-time service performance. The latter analysis makes use of parametric time-temperature relationships based upon rate-process theory, enabling the user to combine all time-temperature exposure curves into one master curve useful for extrapolation as well as interpolation. The purpose of this book to explain and illustrate such analytical tools, and to provide a broad range of illustrative examples based upon data from the previous publication, plus much previously unpublished data from Alcoa Laboratories.
