Project Report on Aluminium Alloy Plant [EIRI-1550]

Product Description

Aluminum alloys are alloys in which aluminum (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon and zinc. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further subdivided into the categories heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable. About 85% of aluminum is used for wrought products, for example rolled plate, foils and extrusions. Cast aluminum alloys yield cost-effective products due to the low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strengths than wrought alloys. The most important cast aluminum alloy system is AlSi, where the high levels of silicon (4.013%) contribute to give good casting characteristics. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required. Alloys composed mostly of aluminum have been very important in aerospace manufacturing since the introduction of metal skinned aircraft. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are both lighter than other aluminium alloys and much less flammable than alloys that contain a very high percentage of magnesium. Aluminum alloy surfaces will formulate a white, protective layer of corrosion aluminium oxide if left unprotected by anodizing and/or correct painting procedures. In a wet environment, galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminium alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with more negative corrosion potentials than aluminum, and an electrolyte is present that allows ion exchange. Referred to as dissimilar metal corrosion this process can occur as exfoliation or intergranular corrosion. Aluminum alloys can be improperly heat treated. This causes internal element separation and the metal corrodes from the inside out. Aircraft mechanics deal daily with aluminum alloy corrosion. Aluminum alloy materials can be classified into wrought alloys such as plates, bars, rods, and wire, and cast/die-cast alloys for sand/mold casting. They all have various characteristics and are designated by four digit JIS numbers*. The alloys are assigned 1000 class numbers and the lower two digits denote the associated information. For example, 99.7% aluminum is A1070 and AL-Mg alloy is A5052.
