Aluminum master alloy refers to an alloy material based on aluminum and with other alloying elements added. These alloying elements can improve the characteristics of aluminum, such as strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat treatment response, etc., to meet the requirements of material performance in different application fields.
Common aluminum master alloys are as follows:
Aluminum-manganese alloy:Aluminum-manganese alloy has good corrosion resistance and weldability, and is suitable for marine environment and chemical industry. They are also commonly used to manufacture aluminum cans, car bodies and building materials.
Aluminum-iron alloy: Aluminum-iron alloy has high strength and hardness, and can be used to manufacture structural materials in aerospace, automobile and railway transportation. These alloys have good corrosion resistance while providing lightweight and strength requirements.
Aluminum-cerium alloy: Aluminum-cerium alloy has good high temperature stability and corrosion resistance, especially for seawater corrosion and some chemical media. This makes aluminum-cerium alloy widely used in marine engineering, shipbuilding and chemical industry.
These aluminum master alloys are usually made into materials of different shapes through processes such as smelting, casting, extrusion, forging and rolling to meet various application requirements.
