ASM手册第2B卷深入介绍了铝合金的性能、性能、结构设计、规格和开发。详细描述了合金冶金、加工和结构对设计机械性能、疲劳和断裂抗力、腐蚀和应力腐蚀开裂以及摩擦和磨损的影响。第2B卷还包括超过120种特定等级或变化的商用铝合金的新数据表和扩展数据表。数据表详细说明了合金的产品形式、应用、规格名称、制造特性、热处理以及典型和规格特性。 覆盖范围包括与竞争或普通（现有）合金的比较信息。第2B卷还包括对锻造铝合金历史和发展的主要回顾，以及用于结构和轻量化应用的新型高完整性压铸合金的更新内容。第2B卷是ASM手册第2A卷:铝科学与技术的绝佳伴侣。

ASM Handbook, Volume 2B provides in-depth coverage on the properties, performance, structural design, specifications, and development of aluminum alloys. The effects of alloy metallurgy, processing, and structure are described in detail for mechanical properties in design, fatigue and fracture resistance, corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking, and friction and wear. Volume 2B also includes new and expanded datasheets for over 120 specific grades or variations of commercial aluminum alloys. Datasheets detail the product forms, applications, specification designations, fabrication characteristics, heat treatment, and typical and specification properties of alloys. Coverage includes comparative informative with competitive or common (incumbent) alloys. Volume 2B also includes a major review on the history and development of wrought aluminum alloys and updated content on new high-integrity die casting alloys for structural and light-weighting applications. Volume 2B is an excellent companion to ASM Handbook, Volume 2A: Aluminum Science and Technology.
