Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum alloys are a general term for alloys with aluminum as the base. They contain alloying elements such as copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese, zinc, etc. These alloying elements can improve the properties of aluminum alloys, and different alloying elements and their contents will endow aluminum alloys with different characteristics.
Classification
Wrought Aluminum Alloys:
These aluminum alloys can withstand pressure processing, such as rolling, extrusion, and forging. According to their performance characteristics, they can be further divided into anti-corrosion aluminum alloys (such as 3003 aluminum alloy), hard aluminum alloys (such as 2024 aluminum alloy), super-hard aluminum alloys (such as 7075 aluminum alloy), and forged aluminum alloys (such as 6061 aluminum alloy). Anti-corrosion aluminum alloys have good corrosion resistance and are often used to manufacture corrosion-resistant structural parts; hard aluminum alloys have high strength and are mainly used for aerospace structural parts; super-hard aluminum alloys have even higher strength and are used to manufacture components with extremely high strength requirements; forged aluminum alloys have good forging properties and are suitable for manufacturing complex-shaped forgings.
Cast Aluminum Alloys:
They have good casting properties and are suitable for casting various complex-shaped parts. According to the main alloying elements, they can be classified into aluminum-silicon alloys (such as ZL101), aluminum-copper alloys (such as ZL201), aluminum-magnesium alloys (such as ZL301), and aluminum-z…
