Welded aluminium alloy bicycle frame, made in the 1990s. An aluminium alloy (UK/IUPAC) or aluminum alloy (NA; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin, nickel and zinc.
The name is mainly used in pop-science to describe all Al-Cu alloys system. Aluminium–copper alloys were standardised in the 2000 series by the international alloy designation system (IADS) which was originally created in 1970 by the Aluminum Association. 2000s series includes 2014 and 2024 alloys used in airframe fabrication.
Aluminium alloys are alloys where the principal metal is aluminium. Subcategories. This category has the following 7 subcategories, out of 7 total. ...
From left to right: three alloys (beryllium copper, Inconel, steel) and three pure metals (titanium, aluminum, magnesium) An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described.
Aluminium–manganese alloys (AlMn alloys) are aluminium alloys that contain manganese (Mn) as the main alloying element. They consist mainly of aluminium (Al); in addition to manganese, which accounts for the largest proportion of about 1% of the alloying elements, but they may also contain small amounts of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), or copper (Cu).
An aluminum can (British English: aluminium can) is a single-use container for packaging made primarily of an aluminum exterior with an epoxy resin or polymer coated interior. [1] It is commonly used for food and beverages such as olives and soup but also for products such as oil, chemicals, and other liquids.
Aluminium bronzes are most valued for their higher strength and corrosion resistance as compared to other bronze alloys. These alloys are tarnish-resistant and show low rates of corrosion in atmospheric conditions, low oxidation rates at high temperatures, and low reactivity with sulfurous compounds and other exhaust products of combustion.
Acidic precipitation is the main natural factor to mobilize aluminium from natural sources [180] and the main reason for the environmental effects of aluminium; [207] however, the main factor of presence of aluminium in salt and freshwater are the industrial processes that also release aluminium into air. [180] In water, aluminium acts as a ...
