Corrosion and corrosion control of aluminium and steel in lightweight automotive applications. Hrsg. von E. N. Soepenberg, 414 S., Volume of the 6th Automative Corrision Symposium by NACE „Corrosion of Light-Weight and Precoated Metals for Automotive Application”, NACE International, Houstan 1995, $ 65.00 (List), $ 45.00 (NACE Members). ISBN 1-877914-88-6

Abstract ALUMINUM A206.0 is a high-strength aluminum casting alloy. It provides an optimum combination of strength, light weight and economy. Its performance approaches that of forged steel, yet it may be less expensive to use because its lower tooling costs often offset the price difference. In automotive applications, the lighter weight of A206.0 can save fuel and increase range. See also Aluminum A201, Alloy Digest Al-234, April 1979. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Al-244. Producer or source: Various aluminum companies.

Discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) composites are attractive for a large range of engineering applications because of its excellent wear-resistance, high thermal conductivity and light weight etc. In this paper, DRA composites were designed and fabricated especially for automotive application, and their properties were measured. Brake discs of DRA composites were manufactured and their braking performances were investigated, including brake velocity, brake pressure, brake torque, brake deceleration, brake time and surface temperature etc. The test results show DRA composites exhibit an excellent braking performance.
