Aluminum
Aluminum Forged Parts
Aluminum forgings and seamless rolled rings are lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and exceptionally durable due to the surface being protected by a spontaneously forming oxide layer (similar to stainless steel, which also forms and oxide layer). This oxide layer protects the surface for corrosion when exposed to air and water. Aluminum has a high thermal conductivity, fracture toughness, and excellent strength-to-weight ratio that makes these alloys desirable for many industrial parts and components. They are widely used for aerospace, semiconductor, defense, and marine applications.
Common alloys of aluminum include:
1100, 2014, 5086, 6061-T6, 7075-T73, and 7075-T7352. Common specifications include ASTM B247, AMS 2772, AMS STD 2154, AMS 4127, SAE AMS 4141, and QQ-A-367.
Stress-relieving aluminum produces the optimal machining condition. However, stress-relieving aluminum also makes it difficult to shape (formability). Thus, All Metals & Forge Group strives to produce rough machined forgings to the near net shape of the final part for the customer or their machine shop.
The chemical and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys make them an excellent choice for component parts finish machined from round, flat, square and hex bars, blocks and rectangles, discs and rings, cylinders, or shapes with steps, flanges, or complex finish machining requirements.
All Metals & Forge Group takes great pride in maintaining one of the most stringent ISO9001, AS9100 quality systems in the open die forging and seamless rolled ring industry. It begins with learning the customer’s end use, required forging surface condition, mechanical properties of the specified material and alloy, forged shape, heat treatment, delivery need, and competitive price, coupled with forging soundness proven by ultrasonic testing, and care in packing goods to arrive in pristine condition at the customer’s desired location. Every step is monitored by the quality system at AMFG and continuously improved.
AMFG performs rough machining to within 3mm of finish dimensions to reduce the CNC cost at the customer’s machine shop for all the forged shapes the company produces. The rough machine surface condition is 250 RMS so that proper quality testing can be performed on each part – the AMFG standard.
The company can perform finish machining to within .001 of an inch for final tolerance and 64 or 32 RMS surface finish. This level of quality and precision is unique in an industry where other company’s parts are often delivered black, as forged, or with a rough machined surface of 500 RMS without the internal or external steps and dimensions to reduce machining costs.
From inquiry to invoice, All Metals & Forge Group quality is managed and not assumed. Whether the need is for one part, an entire project, or a production run, AMFG delivers.
