Abstract
Aluminum alloys can reach high properties and performances after heat treatment. The precipitation strengthening mechanism is described in this paper and a general view of the whole process is given in order to transmit the importance of this operation in everyday technology. This review reports different types of heat treatments that can be performed on such alloys. Attention was given on how chemical composition can influence the final characteristics of the treated material. To provide a comprehensive view of each treatment, advantages and disadvantages will be underlined, with a final focus on special treatments, which are more suitable for specific situations.Pubblicazioni consigliate
