Manual - Aluminium in commercial vehicles

The Manual “Aluminium in Commercial Vehicles” has been compiled by the European Aluminium Association in answer to the needs of manufacturers and users of commercial vehicles and accessories. It is a compendium of basic information on such aspects of aluminium as:

• The reasons for using it
• The main rolled, extruded and cast alloys available to manufacturers; their properties, mechanical characteristics etc.
• The design and calculation of structures, fatigue and collision behaviour
• The joining of semi-finished products: fabrication, welding and other joining techniques
• The corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys under service conditions
• Surface treatment
• Cleaning and repair

This guide will be of particular interest to design and process engineers, to repair and maintenance managers and more generally to anyone with an interest in the applications and development of aluminium in road transport.
