Aluminum Forming is a comprehensive guidebook published by Reynolds Metals Company, a leading producer of aluminum products. The book is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the various techniques and processes involved in forming aluminum, including rolling, extrusion, forging, and casting. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of aluminum forming. The first chapter provides an introduction to aluminum and its properties, including its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The second chapter covers rolling, which is the process of reducing the thickness of aluminum sheets or plates by passing them through a series of rollers. The third chapter covers extrusion, which is the process of shaping aluminum by forcing it through a die. This chapter explains the different types of extrusion processes, including hot extrusion, cold extrusion, and impact extrusion. The fourth chapter covers forging, which is the process of shaping aluminum by applying pressure to it using a hammer or press. The fifth chapter covers casting, which is the process of pouring molten aluminum into a mold to create a specific shape. This chapter explains the different types of casting processes, including sand casting, die casting, and investment casting. Throughout the book, the authors provide detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the various processes involved in aluminum forming. They also provide practical advice and guidance on selecting the right equipment, choosing the right alloys, and maintaining the quality of the finished product. Overall, Aluminum Forming is an essential resource for anyone involved in the aluminum industry, including engineers, designers, and manufacturers. It provides a comprehensive overview of the different techniques and processes involved in aluminum forming, as well as practical advice on how to achieve the best results.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
