The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The development of wrought alloys of aluminum to which high strength and ductility can be imparted by heat treatment began with the work of Wilm and Claesser in Germany, 1905-1911. During this time an alloy was developed which was later commercially produced in that country under the tradename of duralumin. The need for strong, light alloys for aircraft during the World War greatly hastened the development of duralumin.
