The microstructures of self-designed 7000 series Aluminium alloys added with Sc are observed. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the Sc-added Aluminium alloys are evaluated as a function of tensile temperature to establish the conditions of a following extrusion process. New casting conditions in the aluminium alloys added with Sc could be established by changing the casting speed and stirring time in the existing casting conditions of Aluminium alloys. The Sc addition results in $Al_3(Sc,Zr)$ precipitates in the cast alloys, and leads to the formation of equal-axed grains and fine grains. After homogenization heat treatment at $450^{\circ}C$, the Sc-added Aluminium alloys showed the highest elongation values in the temperature ranging from $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$.

In high temperature aircraft electronics, aluminium based brazing filler is the prime choice today. Aluminium and its alloys have compatible properties like weight minimization, thermal conductivity, heat dissipation, high temperature precipitation hardening etc. suitable for the aerospace industry. However, the selection of brazing filler for high temperature electronics requires high temperature joint strength properties which is crucial for the aerospace. Thus the selection of proper brazing alloy material, the composition and brazing method play an important role in deciding the final reliability of aircraft electronic components. The composition of these aluminium alloys dependent on the addition of the various elements in the aluminium matrix. The complex shapes of aluminium structures like enclosures, heat dissipaters, chassis for electronic circuitry, in avionics are designed from numerous individual components and joined thereafter. In various aircraft applications, the poor strength caused by the casting and shrinkage defects is undesirable. In this report the effect of various additional elements on Al based alloys and brazing fillers have been discussed.

The densification behaviro and resulting properties of cordierite-aluminium titanate composites containing 5 to 40wt.% aluminium titanate were investigated. Compared with cordierite monolithics a substantial increase of sintering temperature range for composites was observed, which was due to the formation of cordierite and glass phase at relatively low temperatures. The bending strength of composites showed its maximum at 30wt.% aluminium titanate content, which was about 50% increase relative to the cordierite monolithics, then decreased by a small amount at 40wt.% aluminium titanate content. The decrease was explained by the increase of microcracks whose presence was confirmed by the hysteresis of thermal expansion curve of composites. However, the microcracks formed was not severe enough to produce a significant decrease in strength, which was also evidenced by the continuous increase of thermal expansion coefficient up to 40wt.% aluminium titanate content.

The mechanical and electrical properties of aluminium alloy 6061 are reported in this present work. Aluminium alloys were homogenized at $550^{\circ}C$, for 5 hours and cooled in the furnace. The different thickness reductions of 60-90% on homogenized aluminium alloy plates were achieved by cryo-rolling. Later, the as rolled samples were aged by solution treatment at the temperatures of $520^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, water quenched; subsequently aged at $160^{\circ}C$ for 8-24 hours and partial aged (not solution treatment) at $160^{\circ}C$ for 8- 24 hours. Mechanical and electrical properties of samples were investigated. The experimental result showed that the microhardness of cryo-rolled samples were increase with increasing the percentage of the thickness reduction. Moreover, the microhardness of cryo-rolled, aged by solution treatment samples were higher than those of the cryo-rolled and cryo-rolled, partial aged samples. The cryo-rolled alloys subjected to full aged at $160^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours exhibited the hardness of 125 HV and electrical conductivity values was 45.76 %IACS and the cryo-rolled alloys subjected to partial aged at $160^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours exhibited the hardness of 67 HV and electrical conductivity values was 49.67 %IACS.

Aluminium and its alloys are widely used in brazing various components in automotive industries due to their properties like lightweight, excellent ductility, malleability and formability, high oxidation and corrosion resistance, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. However, high machinability and strength of aluminium alloys are a serious concern during casting operations. The generation of porosity caused by dissolved gases and modifiers affects seriously the strength and quality of cast product. Brazing of Al and its alloys requires careful monitoring of temperature since theses alloys are brazed at around the melting temperature in most of the aluminium alloys. Therefore, the development of low temperature brazing filler alloys as well as superior strength Al alloys for various engineering applications is always in demand. In various heat exchangers and automotive applications, poor strength of Al alloys is due to the inherent porosities and casting defects. The unstable mechanical properties is therefore needed to be controlled by adding various additive elements in the aluminium and its alloys, by a change in the heat treatment procedure or by modifying the microstructure. In this regard, this article reports the effect of various elements added in aluminium alloys to improve microstructure, brazeability, machinability, castability as well as to stabilize the mechanical properties.

It is important not only to reduce the casting defects of piston but also to improvement in the mechanical properties(hardness) of piston for the air compressor. The blow hole is typical casting defects in the conventional cast of aluminium alloy(AC8A-T6) piston. Because of the heat treatment method, mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy for piston was decided on the heat treatment method and cycle. Therefore, we tested on the development of mechanical properties and on the casting defects of piston for the air compressor in accordance with the heat treatment and casting condition. After the heat treatment and casting was carried out as several times, and was compared with the imported piston. As a result of several investigations; microstructure, hardness and casting defects of piston was changed under the influence of the heat treatment and casting method. When the cooling rate was controlled and the uni-cast method used, it bas the same mechanical properties and microstructure.

A copper-clad aluminium composite bar is lighter and less expressive than a commercial copper alloy bar. Copper-clad aluminium composite bar can be fabricated by hot hydrostatic extrusion process. In this work, the effect of die angle on the compressive properties of copper-clad aluminium composites fabricated using hydrostatic extrusion process was investigated experimentally. The results showed that optimum half die angle was in the range of 40$^{\circ}$ to 50$^{\circ}$ for an extrusion ratio of 19. The results also showed that the half die angle had little influence on the compressive strength of copper-clad aluminium composites. A diffusion layer increased with increasing die angle.
