Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum alloys are materials made up of two or more metals. They are designed with specific purposes in mind, usually by industries that have requirements for their components. Some alloys were developed for corrosion resistance, and others for tensile strength, while some maintain their integrity under high pressure and extreme temperature conditions. Many specialty alloys were made specifically for certain industries, such as aerospace or nuclear.

The requirements of these industries dictates the kind of aluminum alloy that is created and used. Common elements that are alloyed to steel to produce aluminum are copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium and zinc. All compositions are registered by the Aluminum Association, and given a designation that is used throughout the steel industry.

All Metals & Forge handles specialty aluminum alloys for metal-using industry such as defense, petrochemical and aerospace. They are a major supplier and forging facility for machine shops that service these industries, as well. Their custom forging shop can forge any aluminum alloy using the open die and seamless rolled ring methods.

All Metals & Forge has an extensive database of common and hard-to-find aluminum alloys. If you can’t find your steel, or are having trouble getting the size batch or custom shape you need, contact All Metals & Forge. They have the resources to supply almost any aluminum alloy, from any source. They can be reached at (973)276-5000, or email at info@steelforge.com.

Aluminum Alloy Properties

The properties of each recognized aluminum alloy are seen in their designations. Each aluminum alloy is given a four-digit number from 1000 to 8000, with a letter and number attached that indicate the temper, or condition, of the alloy. Alloys in the 1000s are 99% pure, with few or no additional elements added to them. Alloys in the 7000s are aluminum-zinc-magnesium alloys, and other number designations indicate other combinations of elements.

Alloys are also grouped by their ability to be either cold or heat formed. Work-hardening alloys achieve their strength by cold working, and precipitation-hardening alloys achieve their properties through various methods of heat treating. All Metals & Forge is a premier supplier of aluminum alloys and products to industry. They carry even hard-to-find alloys and specialty steel.

All Metals & Forge also has a custom forging shop, where any shape and material can be forged using open die and seamless rolled ring forging methods.
