Description
Summary:Aluminum alloy has a lot of benefits including high strength, great ductility and low density. It is widely used in vehicle engineering, aviation, aerospace and so on. However, there is a higher requirement for aluminum alloy in these fields. For instance, higher strength, higher hardness, higher elongation and other performances are needed. Changing the content of certain elements, combination with graphene, plasma spraying and heat treatment might be four effective methods to improve the performance of the aluminum alloy. The experiments verify the effectiveness of each method. Still, there should be more studies on these methods to reveal the principle of each method.
