Observation of Oxide Skin in Powder Metallurgy Aluminum Alloys.

Abstract

The present investigation is the first phase of a comprehensive in-house program within the Structural Metals Branch of the Materials Laboratory to study the oxide skin on aluminum powder particles. This phase is concerned with identifying the oxide and determining how the oxide is distributed during processing. Later phases will be directed towards relating the oxide skin distribution to mechanical properties.
