6082 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium-magnesium-silicon family (6000 or 6xxx series). It is one of the more popular alloys in its series (alongside alloys 6005, 6061, and 6063), although it is not strongly featured in ASTM (North American) standards.
Silicon powders are used in aluminum-silicon alloys for enhancing strength and castability, providing better durability under high-stress conditions. [4] It also improves the fluidity of molten aluminum which allows easier casting of complex shapes with fewer defects. [5] Small additions of titanium and boron serve to refine the grain. [6]
Alusil as a hypereutectic aluminium-silicon alloy (EN AC-AlSi17Cu4Mg / EN AC-48100 or A390) contains approximately 78% aluminium and 17% silicon. [1] [2] This alloy was theoretically conceived in 1927 by Schweizer & Fehrenbach, [3] of Badener Metall-Waren-Fabrik, [4] but practically created only by Lancia [5] in the same year, for its car engines.
6061 aluminium alloy (Unified Numbering System (UNS) designation A96061) is a precipitation-hardened aluminium alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements.
Aluminium alloy bicycle wheel. 1960s Bootie Folding Cycle. Aluminium alloys with a wide range of properties are used in engineering structures. Alloy systems are classified by a number system or by names indicating their main alloying constituents (DIN and ISO).
The strength of the material is due to the square–cube law. Metal foams typically retain some physical properties of their base material. Foam made from non-flammable metal remains non-flammable and can generally be recycled as the base material. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is similar while thermal conductivity is likely reduced. [2]
For all alloys, the increase is relatively strong at low elongations and lower at higher elongations. However, the curves for higher alloy varieties are always above the low-dried. For example, with a true elongation of 0.2, AlMg0.5 has a flow voltage of about 100 N/mm 2, AlMg one of 150 N/mm 2, AlMg 3 of 230 N/mm 2 and AlMg4.5Mn0.4 of about ...
Aluminium alloys are often used due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, low cost, high thermal and electrical conductivity.There are a variety of techniques to join aluminium including mechanical fasteners, welding, adhesive bonding, brazing, soldering and friction stir welding (FSW), etc. Various techniques are used based on the cost and strength required for the joint.
