The production of aluminum alloys through powder metallurgy (PM) processes allows for the manufacture of net- or near-net-shape components in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. The high reactivity of aluminum metal, however, complicates PM processing, and special attention must be given to certain steps during production, particularly sintering. PM processing conditions strongly affect the structure and porosity of aluminum PM alloys, which ultimately determine their material properties and performance. In this article, the fundamental aspects of the commercial production of aluminum PM alloys are presented, along with the effects of production conditions on the structure and porosity of aluminum PM alloys. The properties and performance of aluminum PM alloys are then analyzed and interpreted with respect to their structure and porosity.

The review of the works devoted to the influence of scandium on the structure, mechanical behavior and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys is given. The wrought thermally non-hardenable alloys of Al- Mg system and thermally hardenable high-strength alloys of Al-Zn- Mg-Cu system are considered. The influence of Sc on the glass forming ability of amorphous alloys and on the superplastic behavior of aluminum alloys is discussed.

Since the invention of the friction stir welding, several studies have been conducted to understand the influence of process parameters on the microstructural, thermal and mechanical characteristics to improve the weld quality. Banded structures better known under the name of "onion rings" are one of phenomena that appear in the microstructure during this process. The welding parameters leading to their appearance as well as their effect on the quality of the joint are still subject to much research with different conclusions. In this context, the objective of this research work is to determine various characteristics of the ‘onion rings’ and correlate them to processing conditions.

ABSTRACTHigh power Nd-YAG laser was used to fuse coatings containing a mixture of FeAl and Al, with 4340 steel. It was observed that good quality coatings could be obtained using this process. Detailed microstructural studies show that Fe aluminides and/or a solid solution of Al in Fe can form within the coating, depending on the processing conditions. Wear measurements show that the best wear properties are obtained in the presence of an aluminide in the coating and that the wear properties significantly degrade when the coating consists primarily of a solid solution of Al in Fe.

Abstract Al and its alloys constitute one of the most versatile, economical and attractive materials for a wide range of applications. The 7xxx and 2xxx series alloys are those of achieving the highest mechanical strength among aluminum alloys. In this investigation, using powder metallurgy provides the microstructural and mechanical properties characterizations of non-commercial Al6Cu5Zn alloy by using powder metallurgy. Initial powder sizes are determined and the best condition is obtained for the distribution comprised between 75-106 μm. The samples are sintered at 585 oC, 600 oC and 615 oC during 0.5, 1.5 h and 3 h. It is found that mechanical behavior similar to as-cast Al-Cu based alloys is attained (~ 125 MPa) when the samples at 615 oC during 3 h are sintered. Considering the reduction of energy consumption and metal fumes commonly produced in foundry, Al-Zn powder can be used with Al and Cu elemental powders to constitute an Al6Cu5Zn alloy.
