Aluminum Surface and Bulk Nanocomposites

This book demonstrates the use of the powder metallurgy method for producing bulk aluminum matrix nanocomposites and electron beam treatment for the surface nanocomposites with nanoparticle fillers. It clarifies the microstructure and properties of the surface and bulk nanocomposites on the aluminum base, and explores the role of nanoparticles in the process of microstructure formation and strengthening of nanocomposites. The book also simulates the structure formation process in AlSi12Cu2NiMg alloy, subjected to electron beam treatment, using the MAGMASOFT® software.
