The Tensile and Impact Properties of Plate and Welds of Aluminum Alloy 5083-H113 between 75 and -320°F

Abstract: Aluminum alloy 5083 offers an extremely desirable combination of properties for cryogenic equipment. It is one of the newest and strongest of the aluminum-magnesium—manganese alloys, the 5000 series, yet retains the excellent weld-ability and weld ductility that are characteristic of these alloys. In addition, it has good resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion. Alloy 5083 is available in a wide range of sheet and plate gauges and tempers, and in extrusions. The minimum specified properties of plate gauges of 5083 are given in Table I [1].

Long Life Aluminum Brazing Alloys for Automobile Radiators - a Ten Year Retrospective

Abstract: A class of corrosion-resistant brazing sheet materials, generally referred to as ``long-life alloys,`` has been in widespread use in brazed aluminum automobile radiators for over ten years. K319 tube material was initially introduced in 1986 to address the problem of road-salt-induced, outside-in corrosion of tubes in vacuum-brazed aluminum radiators, The development history, metallurgy, and field performance of long-life radiator brazing sheet are reviewed. This material utilizes the familiar sacrificial layer concept to improve corrosion resistance; however, it is unusual in that the layer is not introduced by conventional cladding means during sheet manufacture, but rather develops in situ by metallurgical transformations which occur during the brazing cycle. The sacrificial layer, about 25 mV anodic to the core alloy, increases by an order of magnitude the time-to-perforation of radiator tube sheet tested in cyclic acidified salt spray (SWAAT), which mimics the corrosion morphology observed in the field. Radiators examined after ten years of field service show excellent corrosion resistance, as predicted by SWAAT.

Purification of bayer process liquors

Abstract: Sodium oxalate impurity is removed from oxalate-enriched Bayer process caustic liquor by gradual increase of the caustic concentration of the liquor, thus providing a staged precipitation of the sodium oxalate in a well-crystallized and readily filterable form.

Mold alignment device for horizontal casting

Abstract: This invention is directed to a horizontal casting apparatus having an improved mold mounting means which facilitates alignment of the mold with an ingot or billet support surface adjacent the discharge end of the mold.

Contributions to the theory and practice of cold rolling

Abstract: The development of a comprehensive computerized model for cold rolling is described Rolling forces, torques, forward slip, temperatures of rolls and strip, thermal cambers of rolls, as well as strip thickness profile and flatness, are predicted The model is applicable to both basic and applied studies of the rolling process Its primary purposes are to aid in optimizing performance of existing mills, in the design of new cold mills, and in devising open-loop and closed-loop automatic flatness-control systems
