An aluminum alloy (aluminium alloy manufacturers) is a chemical composition where other elements are added to pure aluminum in order to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength. These other elements include iron, silicon, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc at levels that combined may make up as much as 15 percent of the alloy by weight. Alloying requires the thorough mixing of aluminum with these other elements while the aluminum is in molten – liquid – form.

  • Take-Away Facts

    • In the chemistry

      • Aluminum’s properties such as, strength, density, workability, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance are affected by adding other elements such as magnesium, silicon or zinc.

    • Bradley Fighting Vehicle

      • The military Bradley Fighting Vehicle is made from two different aluminum alloys: a 7xxx series and 5xxx series. Trusted to keep soldiers safe and mobile, aluminum is also used in many other military vehicles.

    • Our favorite beverage container

      • America’s favorite beverage container, the aluminum can, is made from multiple aluminum alloys. The shell of the can is composed of 3004 and the lid is made from 5182. Sometimes it takes more than one alloy to make one, everyday item.

    • Hot and Cold

      • Aluminum alloys (aluminium alloy in delhi) can be made stronger through heat-treatment or cold working. The attributes of a particular alloy are different because of their additives and treatment.

  • Benefits of Aluminum

    • Aluminum is a light metal (Metal processors manufacturers), about the third of the density of steel, copper, and brass.
    • Aluminum has good corrosion resistance to common atmospheric and marine atmospheres. Its corrosion resistance and scratch resistance can be enhanced by anodizing.
    • Aluminum has high reflectivity and can be used for decorative applications.
    • Some aluminum alloys can match or even exceed the strength of common construction steel.
    • Aluminum retains its toughness at very low temperatures, without becoming brittle like carbon steels.
    • Aluminum is a good conductor of heat and electricity. When measured by equal cross-sectional area, electrical grade aluminum has conductivity which is approximately 62% of electrical grade annealed copper. However, when compared using equal weight, the conductivity of aluminum is 204% of copper.
    • Aluminum is readily worked and formed using a wide variety of forming processes including deep- drawing and roll forming.
    • Aluminum is non-toxic and is commonly used in contact with foodstuffs.
    • Aluminum can be readily recycled.
