Aluminum Alloy Parts

Aluminum Alloy Parts are a composition consisting mainly of aluminum to which other elements have been added. The alloy is made by mixing together the elements when aluminum is molten (liquid), which cools to form a homogeneous solid solution. The other elements may make up as much as 15 percent of the alloy by mass. Added elements include iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. The addition of elements to the Aluminum Parts gives the alloy improved strength, workability, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and/or density, compared with the pure metallic element. Aluminum alloys tend to be lightweight and corrosion resistant.

And the Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Parts can be used for Aluminium Die Casting, Permanet Mold Casting and so on. These Aluminum Alloys will become the best High Pressure Die Casting Parts and Pressure Die Casting Parts.

Identifying Aluminum Alloys

Alloys have common names, but they may be identified using a four-digit number. The first digit of the number identifies the class or series of alloy.

1xxx - Commercially pure aluminum also has a four-digit numerical identifier. Series 1xxx alloys are made of 99 percent or higher purity aluminum.

2xxx - The principal alloying element in the 2xxx series is copper. Heat treating these alloys improves their strength. These alloys are strong and tough, but not as corrosion resistant as other aluminum alloys, so they are usually painted or coated for use. The most common aircraft alloy is 2024. Alloy 2024-T351 is among the hardest of the aluminum alloys.
