Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Alloy and the Impacts of Alloying Elements- A Review

Abstract

Aluminum alloys are considered as one of the most dynamically useful and economical prices and most importantly its attractive metallic material for broader span of its useability from soft and ductile wrapping foil to engineering applications. As its worldwide known fact that steel is at the top position and aluminum alloys hold the second most widely used metals for very structural needs. Aluminum alloys recorded a very fast growth across engineering applications from household needs to industrial requirements designed for low weight and low costs, which yields the use of hydrodynamic journal bearing in a large number alloy in automobile industries due to high specific strength, high wear resistance, low density, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
