Casting aluminium alloys can be classified into four categories based on their major alloying elements: 1. Aluminium-Silicon Alloys (also known as “Silumin” or “Si-Al Alloys”) Have good casting and wear resistance properties. Low thermal expansion coefficient. The most widely used type of cast aluminum alloy, with silicon content ranging from 10% to 25%. Sometimes 0.2% […]
Metals or elements have almost no use in pure form. Instead, every metal gets intentionally mixed with other elements or metals. Thus, the composition becomes an alloy, being suitable for everyday utility. The mixing elements effectively alter all the properties of a base metal/element. Even slight changes in contents significantly influence the properties. So, it’s
Achieving the right-sized product is crucial for all die-casting manufacturers. It often involves the proper shaping of metals or alloys into cross-sectional products. Extrusion is specifically suited for the task. Sufficient malleability and superior stability make aluminum alloys a great option for extrusion. Hence, aluminum extrusion is widely implemented to obtain the required shape based
