Aluminum alloy is a group of metals, typically with a low melting point and high strength to weight ratio, used for making products like aircraft, flashlights, and jigs. They are also nontoxic and have good weldability.
Various types of almn alloy are made by mixing different alloying elements such as copper, magnesium and silicon in a ratio of 2 to 10%. Some are amorphous or microcrystalline, others can be precipitated.
Aluminium is a light, strong and corrosion resistant metal with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is available in many tempers and can be used for a variety of applications.
Wrought aluminium is a crystalline or amorphous type of alloy which has been produced by undergoing mechanical working and subjected to heat treatment in order to enhance its properties. The alloy can be identified by a four-digit number that represents the major alloying element, followed by a dash, and a letter that indicates the heat treatment process.
Aluminum is one of the most common metals used in commercial applications. It has a high strength to weight ratio, is readily available in a wide range of tempers, and can be easily hot worked or machined.
Standard duralumin is a commonly used amorphous or microcrystalline aluminium alloy. It has a high strength to weight (similar to mild steel) and is easy to anneal and work harden.
Stainless Steel is another widely used metal in industrial and construction applications. It is a highly corrosion resistant, ductile metal that can be heat treated and strengthened to high strength.
