This document discusses the properties and applications of aluminum and its alloys. It outlines that aluminum is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and electrically and thermally conductive. However, in its pure form aluminum is soft and has a low melting point. The document then discusses how aluminum is commonly alloyed with other metals like copper, magnesium, and manganese to increase its strength and maximum operating temperature. These aluminum alloys have many applications in transportation, infrastructure, consumer goods, and oil and gas due to their high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Physically, chemically and mechanically aluminium is a metal like steel, brass, copper, zinc, lead or titanium. It can be melted, cast, formed and machined much like these metals and it conducts electric current. In fact, often the same equipment and fabrication methods are used as for steel.
Effect of mechanical mold vibration on sand casting aluminium alloys by premvratBharati Singh
Mechanical mould vibration and its effect on mechanical and metallurgical properties of sand casting A1100 alloy is described. The vibration produced by the use of seive shaker and ultrasonic vibrations is produced. Lathe machine used forf shaping and surface finishing of specimen of casted alloy A1100 and UTM is used to test mechanical properties of the alloy. The results of all tests with conclusion and future scope is decsribed in this presentation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8) Classification of Al
alloys
The appearance of Aluminum ranges from ranging
from silvery to dull gray (depending on the surface
roughness)
3. 1) Properties of Aluminum
• 3rd most abundant element on earth (after
oxygen and silicon) with 8% by weight.
• Aluminum and its alloys are characterized by a
relatively low density (2.7 g/cm3 as compared
to 7.9 g/cm3 for steel)
• It has FCC structure.
• High electrical & thermal conductivity.
• Aluminum is nonmagnetic and non sparking.
• It is also insoluble in alcohol & water.
4. • Resistance to corrosion : Corrosion resistance
can be excellent due to a thin surface layer of
aluminum oxide that forms when the metal is
exposed to air, effectively preventing further
oxidation. ( phenomenon of passivation )
• It is easy to cast (low m.p.).
6. 2) Applications
of Aluminum
Since it is ductile, it
can be used to protect
pure metals by Al foil.
As it is good
conductor of electricity
& cheap so it is used for
making electrical wires.
Aluminum has no
aroma, hence it is
widely used in food
packing and cooking
pots.
It is used in mirrors
and other decorative
architectural
components.
7. However the application of pure
aluminum is very rare as compared
to that of it’s alloys.
Why is that so ?????
8. 3) Limitations
• The chief limitation of aluminum is its low
melting temperature (660 C), which restricts
the maximum temperature at which it can be
used.
• Moreover it is very soft, which restricts their
application in automobile and aircrafts (where
lightweight and stronger materials are
required).
9. 4) Alloys of Aluminum
• The typical alloying elements
of aluminum are copper,
magnesium, manganese and
zinc.
10. Alloys of Al and it’s composition
Alloy Name Al (in %) Cu (in %) Mn (in %) Mg (in %) Zn (in %)
Duralumin 95 4 0.5 0.5 -
Magnalumin 70-90 - - 30.10 -
Electron 9-10 - 0.5 87-86 3.5
11. 5) Properties of Al alloys
• Aluminum and its alloys are characterized by a
relatively low density (2.7 g/cm3 as compared to
7.9 g/cm3 for steel)
• Having almost equal strength as that of steel.
• Resistance to corrosion in some common
environments, including the ambient
atmosphere.
• Many of these alloys are easily formed by virtue
of high ductility.
• It’s tensile strength can be raised by heat
treatment without affecting it’s ductility.
12. • High electrical and thermal conductivities
• They have excellent fatigue and low-
temperature toughness properties.
13. 6) Application of Al alloys
• Aluminum alloys are widely used for aeronautical
applications because of high strength weight ratio.
• For automobiles for reducing weight of the vehicle thus
reducing fuel consumption.
• For applications as electrical conductors including
overhead transmission lines.
• House hold and consumer items such as utensils.
• Used as sacrificial anode.
• Marine applications. For surface transport such as fittings
in railway coaches and buses.
• Aluminum is also used in making windows, doors and roofs
of factories.
• Also in Sporting Equipments.
14. 7) Application in Oil & Gas sector
• Upstream:
(a) Material for drill pipe.
(b) Full aluminum or mixed aluminum/steel are
also used in drill strings.
• Midstream & Downstream:
(a) For storage and transportation of CO2, air
and oxygen.
16. 8) Classification of Al
Aluminum alloys can be can be classified
• Wrought alloys
• Cast alloys
Each of these alloys can be further classified
(a) Non heat treatable alloys
(b) Heat treatable alloys
