Aluminum alloys

Aluminum is the thirteenth element of the periodic table, denoted by the symbol (Al). Aluminum is white, soft, non-magnetic and conductive. Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the earth’s crust (after oxygen and silicon). About 8% of the earth’s crust is made of the most commonly used metal, aluminum. Aluminum alloys are one of the most diverse alloys that have many usages due to their light weight and high durability.

Today, due to the great potential and usages of aluminum metal in the production of various types of metal parts and the growing expansion of industries that use this metal as a parent metal in the supply of raw materials. The market for alloy aluminum has also become wider and wider.

Aluminum as a parent metal has the unique property of combining special chemical elements to show more pronounced coordinates and capabilities than other metals. The price of aluminum metal in the Iranian market varies depending on the type of alloy. In order to obtain the desired properties and characteristics, aluminum alloying operations are usually performed during the melting and casting process.

Certain types of aluminum are formed with the main property of aluminum, which usually contains 90-96% aluminum, and in addition has one or more other elements that have been added to aluminum to improve its properties. Alloy aluminum usually includes several minor alloying elements in addition to the main alloying elements, which have a small amount but have a great impact on their properties.

Definition of alloying

In general, the word alloying means adding one or more elements or combinations of them to aluminum to achieve a specific set of properties. The change of properties due to the addition of these elements depending on the type of base element and the alloying elements added can be exclusively dependent on an element or a combination of added elements.

Since the strength and hardness of aluminum is always less than its alloy types, aluminum alloy is generally used in industry and pure aluminum is usually used in more special usages.

The reason for the expansion of this industry

According to extensive research conducted by researchers in the field of materials and metallurgy, aluminum metal is the best known metal in the world for obtaining various alloys due to maintaining its basic properties during alloying and improving its quality coordinates.

Aluminum alloys in different categories can cover a variety of industries. Many researches have been done in this field, most of which indicate that in the initial studies of materials for the production of various parts, the first channel to obtain the best raw materials is definitely to refer to the information of aluminum alloy, because most likely one of them as materials. The initial fabrication of the part passes the initial tests.

Specifications and features of aluminum alloy

  • Corrosion resistance

One of the characteristics of aluminum in its pure form is corrosion resistance. Attention increases.

Many aluminum alloy grades have high levels of atmospheric and chemical corrosion resistance due to the natural formation of the oxide layer adhering to the surface. This feature is more pronounced in 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx series alloys, which we will explain in the following.

  • Capability in thermal conductivity

Aluminum alloys have a very high thermal conductivity and due to the fact that they melt at a lower temperature than steel, but in the presence of fire, the temperature of aluminum alloy rises at a much slower speed.

  • Capability in electrical conductivity

Aluminum and some alloy aluminum have a very high electrical conductivity and in this respect are among the second most conductive metals after copper. One of the main reasons for the high approach of the electrical and electronics industries is their capability and its more affordable price than copper.

  • Appropriate ratio of strength to weight

Aluminum does not show much change in weight after alloying, in other words, the high strength of aluminum alloy relative to its weight is one of the main factors in its selection compared to other metals. Low density aluminum is suitable for making engineering alloys.

Although their strength is not as high as that of steels, the strength-to-weight ratio is high, and for this reason commercial aluminum alloys abound. The strength of most of these alloys can be increased by hard deposition or hot work.

  • Resistance to failure

By alloying, the level of failure resistance in alloy aluminum is significantly increased or their so-called toughness is increased. Many aluminum alloys are tough and are used in usages that require brittle fracture resistance and crack growth.

  • Very high workability

Aluminum alloy after the alloying process shows a very high flexibility and ability to work, that both by extrusion process and by a variety of machining and cnc machining can be achieved very precise specialized parts. Basically, one of the features of aluminum is that by making it alloy and obtaining different types of aluminum alloy, the amount of workability in this metal can be increased.

  • High connectivity

Aluminum alloys can be bonded to other surfaces by extensive bonding methods such as welding, soldering, riveting and even gluing and nailing.

  • Recyclability

Aluminum alloys have a very, very low percentage of non-recyclable castings, and the production residue of each category can be easily recovered using the process of melting and re-casting, and after recycling, materials of the same quality can be obtained.

Aluminum alloy groups

In general, aluminum alloys are divided into two categories in terms of production method, with climbing alloys accounting for more than 80% of the total volume of aluminum alloys used.

  • Alloys wrought

Rolling alloys according to the standard ( Associatian Aluminum ) AA are divided into eight groups 1xxx to 8xxx depending on the type of constituent metals; Workable aluminum alloys are alloys that are mechanically shaped to the desired shape.

Some of these alloys can be reinforced by special heat treatment and others are not heat treatable. Workable alloys are divided into eight groups based on their main alloying element, and each of the alloys in each group is named by the AA (Aluminum Society) with a four-digit number .

  • Alloys Casting

Aluminum are alloys that are molded into the desired shape. These alloys are also some heat treatable and some non-heat treatable. Each of these alloys is named by AA with a four-digit number placed between the fourth and third digits to the left of a dot .

Types of aluminum alloys

  • Aluminum – copper alloy

Its brand name is Dur Aluminum . The hardness of this alloy reaches a maximum despite 5.7% copper. Silicon and magnesium alloying elements are sometimes used. Duralumin is widely used in lightweight structures and the aircraft industry. The corrosion resistance of doraluminins is lower than that of aluminum. They often protect the duralumin surface with a thin coating of commercial pure rolled aluminum. Sometimes the C code is introduced.

  • Aluminum – magnesium alloy

Its brand name is Alumag . The amount of magnesium is less than 10%. The main property of alumag is its good corrosion resistance.

As the amount of magnesium increases by more than 10%, its corrosion resistance decreases sharply. The main usage of these alloys is due to their good corrosion resistance, high lightness and indirectly good polishing ability and maintaining this polish in them. For this reason, amalgam alloys are used in architectural and decorative works. Manganese and silicon alloys are sometimes used. Sometimes introduced with the code G.

  • Aluminum – silicon alloys

Their brand is Alpax . Increasing silicon without greatly reducing its ductility increases the castability of aluminum and at the same time increases its mechanical strength. This alloy has 12 to 13% silicon and its hardness can be increased by heat treatment. Sometimes 7% silicon and 3% magnesium are used. It is used in the preparation of oil tanks for internal combustion engines, washing machine parts, radiators and electrical appliances. Sometimes the code S is introduced.

  • Tin ( Sn )

This element effectively improves the anti-friction property, so it is useful in bearing usages. Cast alloys may contain up to 25% tin. Increasing the amount of tin improves the machining properties and affects the hard deposition action in some alloys.

  • Lead (Pb)

The presence of lead and its properties in amounts of more than 0.1% improves the machining properties.

  • Iron (Fe)

This element improves the resistance to hot cracks and reduces the adhesion of the piece to the mold in injection molding. Increasing its percentage reduces the formability. It may also react with other elements added to the melt to form complex intermetallic compounds or sludge.

  • Manganese (Mn)

This element is used in small amounts to control the destructive effect of iron in brittle phases. It contains about half a percent of iron. Manganese is used as an alloying element in workable alloy compounds.

  • Chromium ‬ (Cr)

The addition of chromium causes intermetallic compounds, and because these compounds have very little solubility in the solid state, they prevent grain growth. Chromium in some alloys improves corrosion resistance and in higher amounts increases the sensitivity to rapid cooling.

  • Nickel (Ni)

This element together with copper increases the resistance to high temperature and also reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion.

  • Phosphorus (P)

This element causes germination and refining of the primary silicon phase in hyperrotective aluminum-silicon alloys.

  • Titanium (Ti)

This element is used to fine-tune the structure in cast aluminum alloys. Titanium is usually used in small quantities.

  • Strontium (Sr)

This element is used to modify aluminum-silicon eutectic alloys.

Series of aluminum alloys

Aluminum alloys are one of the most diverse alloys that have many usages due to their light weight and high durability. Aluminum alloys are divided into 8 general series, which include 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 5000, 7000 and 8000 serie

Alloy aluminum alloy in brief
Series or category Major composition

  • Properties and usage of 1050 aluminum alloy :

In naming 1xxx series aluminum alloys, the last two digits represent the percentage of purity of the alloy. In fact, 1050 is an alloy with 99.5% aluminum. This alloy is also known as AA1050A, S1B and A91050.

1000 series alloys do not have very high strength due to the lack of alloying elements. Naturally, 1050 is no exception to this rule and its yield strength is only about 85MPa. This alloy is one of the series of heat treatment alloys and its strengthening is done through hard strain operation.

Due to its low mechanical strength, 1050 aluminum alloy has good ductility and is easily formed by the process of stretching, rolling and extrusion. But this alloy does not have good machining capability.

Aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant metal. As soon as the metal is exposed to air, it oxidizes to form a thin, sticky, dense layer that prevents corrosion. This layer is so strong that it only dissolves in strong acids and bases such as chlorine and some hydroxides. It is said that this protective layer can withstand pH solutions between 4.5 and 5.8. If the protective layer of the alloy is damaged by wear, a thin layer forms again and protects the alloy against corrosion.

In terms of welding capability, 1050 has a good weldability and can be welded with most arc and gas welding methods. For welding 1050 aluminum on its own or an alloy of the same subgroup, it is recommended to use 1100 filler welding wires. Is.

Note that these percentages vary slightly depending on how the aluminum alloy is made, and other impurities are in normal amounts.

Aluminum is relatively simple in composition, mainly because only a certain amount of manganese can be successfully added to aluminum (1.5 ~ M manganese) to make an alloy. The density of 3003 aluminum is 2.73 grams per cubic centimeter (0.0986 pounds per inch).

When determining 3003 aluminum, certain criteria such as ultimate strength, shear strength, modulus of elasticity and shear modulus must be known. As previously explained, all mechanical values ​​are taken from 3003-H18 aluminum alloy. But its strength values ​​vary slightly based on the hardening process. The expected efficiencies and strengths are necessary to determine the aluminum analysis and show the maximum stress at certain points in the deformation process.

Tensile strength for 3003 aluminum alloys is 186 MPa (27000 psi) and final strength 200 MPa (29000 psi), which makes 3003 aluminum a relatively strong material. More performance strength is used. Because it defines the maximum amount of stress before deformation, which is a necessary limitation for static usages such as structures, architecture, etc.

3003 aluminum sheet shear strength

3003 Aluminum alloy is usually cut from sheet metal, especially for cases subject to shear stresses. As the scissor blades approach, two opposing forces increase along the flat surface of the paper, and the shear forces deform or “cut” the paper. Cutting sheet metal works the same way as cutting paper, but with much heavier machines than scissors and aluminum foil instead of paper.

Measuring the tensile strength of a material against shear strength is called shear strength, and it is very valuable to know alloys that can be used as sheet metal such as 3003 aluminum. For 3003 aluminum alloy, the shear strength is 110 MPa (16,000 psi), which means that it can be easily cut to any shape.

The response of matter to specific stresses (or forces at some points) is defined by its elastic modulus and shear modulus. These values ​​are calculated from experimental stress tests, where increasing stress and its physical effect on a piece of alloy are recorded on the stress-strain curve.

The modulus of elasticity and the shear modulus are just the slope of these diagrams in the elastic region, or the region where the aluminum piece deforms permanently (think of it as a rubber band, where the material returns to its original state).

This slope is a measure of a material’s resistance to deformation and can be useful for a general understanding of a material’s strength. For 3003 aluminum, the modulus of elasticity and shear modulus is 68.9 GPa (10,000 ksi) and 25 GPa 3630 (ksi).
