When selecting a casing material for fields with a high content of H2S and CO2, it is recommended to use specialized corrosion-resistant tubulars with high content of chrome of the Sanicro 29 type. The high cost of the material can be critical for the project economy. A promising approach for these problems elimination could be the application of aluminium alloy casing pipes. They are remain inert to corrosion even if the formation environment is fully saturated with H2S and/or CO2. They are also lightweight, have high strength-to-weight ratio, and thus decrease the existing tensions in the string and reduce well construction costs.

The cast Al-Zn-Mg 7000 alloy has become one of the most potential structural materials in many engineering fields such as aircraft body, automotive casting due to their high strength to weight ratio, strong age hardening ability, competitive weight savings, attractive mechanical properties and improvement of thermal properties. The cast aluminium alloy has been modified of surface layer through a solid-state technique is called friction stir process (FSP). But basic principle has been followed by friction stir welding (FSW). This process can be used to locally refine microstructures and eliminate casting defects in selected locations, where mechanical properties improvements can enhance component performance and service life. However, some specified process parameters have adopted during experimental works. Those parameters are tool rotation speed (720 rpm), plate traverse speed (80 mm/min), axial force (15 kN), and tool design (i.e., pin height 3.5 mm and pin diameter 3.0 mm), respectively. The main mechanism behind this process likely to axial force and frictional force acting between the tool shoulder and workpiece results in intense heat generation and plastically soften the process material. The specified ratio of rotational speed (720 rpm) to traverse speed (80 mm/min) is considered 9 as low heat input during FSP and its entails low Zn vaporization problem results as higher fracture toughness of aluminium alloy. It is well known that the stirred zone (SZ) consists of refine equiaxed grains produced due to dynamic recrystallization. FSP has been proven to innovatively enhancing of various properties such as formability, hardness and fracture toughness (32.60 MPa√m). The hardness and fracture toughness of double passes AC+FSP aluminium alloy had been investigated by performing Vicker’s hardness measurement and fracture toughness (KIC)(ASTM E-399 standard) tests. Detailed observations with optical microscopy, Vicker’s hardness measurement, SEM, TEM, and DTA analysis have conducted to analyse microstructure and fracture surfaces of double passes FSP aluminium alloy.

Recently, formable metal sheets with a high strength-to-weight ratio have been developed especially to conserve energy and resources. For this purpose, two conditions are necessary: the strengthening of the sheet metal and improvement of the press-formability, which are difficult to obtain together. In the present study, the conditions necessary for this are examined using solid-solution type aluminum alloy sheets. Moreover, a new measure to assess press-formability is proposed in terms of the strain-hardening capability and plastic-anisotropy based on fracture behavior of sheet metals.

Aluminium Matrix Composites are extensively used due to their desirable properties like low weight, low cost, high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and high stiffness. Their applications are diversified in production, thermal, marine and automobile industries. Aluminium is extensively used in ships, aircrafts, cars, electrical wires and household utensils because it is abundant in nature. In the present study, Aluminium alloy Al6061 Hybrid Composites reinforced with Boron carbide and Coconut shell ash are fabricated to replace the individual Aluminium alloy Al6061. For that various tests to determine properties such as strength, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance are conducted on composite samples which make them fit to be used in aircraft window frames by reviewing various literatures. In addition to above, machinability analysis is performed on all the specimens and their surface roughness is measured. Based on the results obtained, we can come to a conclusion that the aluminium composite has superior properties than individual Al6061 alloy.

— Aluminum alloy based metal matrix composites are becoming very popular because of their outstanding properties such as high strength to weight ratio, excellent mechanical properties and improved wear properties. From literature survey it was observed that very limited report available on Aluminum alloy-beryl composites, particularly on the effect of beryl content, quenching media and heat treatment on the mechanical and wear properties of Aluminum-beryl composites. Accordingly, the aims of the present study are (i) preparation of Al6061-beryl particles by liquid metallurgy method (stir cast) with possible standardization of the beryl addition to liquid Aluminum alloy, (ii) Study the effect of different quenching media and the beryl content (2-12 wt. %) on the mechanical and wear properties of these composites in both as cast and heat treated conditions. Heat treatment procedure of solutionising at temperature of 5300C for 1hour and quenching in different media (air, water and ice) followed by natural and artificial ageing for different times was adopted. It was observed that the addition of beryl particles to Al6061 alloy improves its hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance with increasing beryl content while the heat treatment had significantly improved these properties compared to that of base alloy and as cast composites.

This paper envisages to predict the life of an aircraft coating using high strength precipitation hardening 7000 series aluminum alloys, such as 7075 which is used extensively in aerospace industry. Aerospace aluminum alloy 7075 has been researched upon especially for aircraft materials. The intention of protective coating is to save the aerospace aluminium alloy 7075 metal surface from weatherability and, at the same time, to obtain the required degree of cosmetic finish for the object. One was epoxy polyamide as primer layer and other was the polyurethane as top-coat layer of coating through conventional spray type on aluminum alloy 7075 substrates. Epoxy polyamide is useful binders for aircraft primers. Top-coats have also been prepared, but polyurethane is still the choice for aircraft coating. This coating system is typically comprised, of a primer layer and a topcoat layer. The ability of the polyurethane coating is to prevent corrosion, weatherability depends on its anti-corrosive pigments and its adhesion to the substrate. All these factors are widely variable with the geographic location and season such as temperature, wind, oxygen and atmospheric pollutants. The effect of structural and process variable on wear resistance of polyurethane coating was analyzed to determine the maximum wear rate using DOE software optimum samples were prepare according to best level of each factor and its morphology was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Aluminium alloy AA1100 finds application in light weight structures due to its high strength to weight ratio. Friction stir welding is a solid state welding process, in which the materials are joined in the plasticized state. The quality of the friction stir welded joints depends on the process parameters used and tool parameters. In this study, four process parameters were varied at five levels and experimental trials were performed as per face centered central composite design. Artificial neural network model was developed with cascade forward propagation network architecture and trained with LM algorithm and BFGS QN algorithm. The models were used to predict the tensile strength of the joints and the error in prediction was used to judge the accuracy of the developed models. It is observed that BFGS QN algorithm trains the ANN efficiently and results in accurate predictions.
