About Aluminum Alloys

Aluminum has been in high demand since it was first made available for commercial use in the late 1800s. In the many years since, the benefits and versatility of aluminum and aluminum alloys have made this metal a must for a wide range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to marine and medical. The benefits of using an aluminum alloy versus titanium or steel include lighter densities and lower costs. However, in some instances, the higher strengths of the latter two materials may be required.

The Aluminum Association classifies more than 500 types of aluminum alloys. Common varieties include the 1000 series, 2000 series, 3000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series, and 7000 series aluminum, which vary in terms of composition, processing method, and end-use.

The popularity of aluminum alloys is largely due to the general physical and mechanical properties they offer, particularly when it comes to strength, durability, ductility, and corrosion resistance.

Aluminum Forging and Other Processing Methods

There is a multitude of methods used in aluminum alloy processing, including aluminum forging, casting, extrusion, and rolling.

Forged aluminum is often a preferred method and uses deformation energy to refine and improve both the shape and properties of the finished product. While it’s not able to achieve quite the complexity of shape as casting, it’s ideal for producing highly durable aluminum alloys in large quantities.

Each processing method has its benefits and drawbacks. Extrusion, for example, can produce strong, lightweight materials but may introduce too much variation into a batch. Rolling is good for intricate applications but is a costly and complex undertaking.
