Today Bangli Building Material Industrial Co. Ltd. would like to let you know some knowledge of the applications of aluminum alloys.
Aluminum is considered to be the most economical and practical in many application fields, alloy elements are added and heat treatment is used to strengthen aluminum as a structural material, and aluminum alloys are born. Whether it is deformation processing or casting processing, it is a method of aluminum processing. Extrusion is a kind of deformation processing and a means of profile forming. It first designs and manufactures a mold based on the cross-section of the profile product, and uses the extruder to extrude the heated round cast rod from the mold. According to the processing method of aluminum alloy, it can be divided into deformed aluminum alloy and cast aluminum alloy. The numbers of aluminum and aluminum alloy are mainly divided into eight series.
International grades (using four Arabic numerals, now commonly used notation):
1XXX represents more than 99% pure aluminum series, such as 1050
2XXX means aluminum-copper alloy series, such as 2014
3XXX means aluminum-manganese alloy series, such as 3003
4XXX means aluminum-silicon alloy series, such as 4032
5XXX means aluminum-magnesium alloy series, such as 5052
6XXX means aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy series, such as 6063
7XXX means aluminum-zinc alloy series, such as 7001
8XXX indicates an alloy system other than the above
According to the aluminum alloy system, from the lowest strength 1xxx series pure aluminum to the highest strength 7xxx series aluminum-zinc alloy. Different grades of deformed aluminum alloys have different compositions, heat treatment processes, and corresponding processing morphologies, so they have different anodizing characteristics. 6xxx series aluminum alloy, also known as "aluminum-magnesium silicon alloy", is a heat-treated corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with high strength and corrosion resistance and good uniformity. Especially important in engineering applications, mainly used for extruded profiles. Taking the commonly used 6 series aluminum alloys as examples, different types of aluminum alloys have different uses.
