Why care for aluminium resources?
- Aluminium is having a growing potential for mass produced cars.
- The materials decisions are taken well in advance of the actual production runs.
- Car models are produced over a period of many years.
- Wrought and cast aluminium alloys rely on different raw materials resources.
Therefore, the criteria for materials selection, availability and supply must include the assured continuity of resources.
Standardized alloys are usually used to manufacture ingots castings. This 1000 Pounds Ingots Aluminum is of very high purity 99.7% min.
Application:
- Used in alloys
- Production of casting parts
- Re-melting industry
While aluminium is sometimes used in its commercially pure form, most applications involve the addition of small quantities of other metals to create alloys with special properties.
Certain alloying elements will increase strength or corrosion resistance, while others enhance such properties as machinability, ductility, weldability and strength at high temperatures.
Alloying elements include:
- manganese (strength and formability)
- magnesium and silicon (strength and corrosion resistance)
- copper and zinc (higher strength)
- titanium and chromium (grain size control)
