Alloy aluminum

Blocks have been prepared of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy 20 mm thick, with electrical conductivity of 1.89x10 S/m. The discontinuity has been machined by milling at a width of 0.2 mm. 

The transducer has the two coils with a width of 2.2 mm, 20 turns each and the wire diameter is 0.03 mm. The material under test is a block of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, with the conductivity of 1.89x10 S/m.

Aluminum. The majority of aluminum containers are of monobloc (one-piece) constmction, impact extmded from a slug of lubricated aluminum alloy. These containers are widely used for many products and are available in a vast array of heights and diameters. Because these containers lend themselves to additional shaping, many unusual shapes can be found in the marketplace. They may also be coated after the extmsion process. 

Molten cryohte dissolves many salts and oxides, forming solutions of melting point lower than the components. Figure 1 combines the melting point diagrams for cryolite—A1F. and for cryohte—NaF. Cryohte systems ate of great importance in the HaH-Heroult electrolysis process for the manufacture of aluminum (see Aluminumand ALUMINUM alloys). Table 5 Hsts the additional examples of cryohte as a component in minimum melting compositions. 

Uses. Alkah metal and ammonium fluoroborates are used mainly for the high temperature fluxing action required by the metals processing industries (see Metal surface treatments Welding). The tendency toward BF dissociation at elevated temperatures inhibits oxidation in magnesium casting and aluminum alloy heat treatment. 

Fluorosulfuric acid can be very corrosive. A study of the corrosive properties of fluorosulfuric acid during preparation and use showed carbon steel to be acceptable up to 40°C, stainless steel up to 80°C, and aluminum alloys up to 130°C (52). 

Fluorotitanic acid is used as a metal surface cleaning agent, as a catalyst, and as an aluminum finishing solvent (see Metal surface treatments). Fluorotitanates are used in abrasive grinding wheels and for incorporating titanium into aluminum aHoys (see Abrasives Aluminumand aluminum alloys). 

Catalytic methanation processes include (/) fixed or fluidized catalyst-bed reactors where temperature rise is controlled by heat exchange or by direct cooling using product gas recycle (2) through wall-cooled reactor where temperature is controlled by heat removal through the walls of catalyst-filled tubes (J) tube-wall reactors where a nickel—aluminum alloy is flame-sprayed and treated to form a Raney-nickel catalyst bonded to the reactor tube heat-exchange surface and (4) slurry or Hquid-phase (oil) methanation. 

Chemical Reduction. Reduction of galHum by aluminum has been developed in the former Soviet Union. This method is in operation (ca 1994). The Bayer Hquor is contacted using a gallium—aluminum alloy named GaHam, and the galHum is deposited.

Lead [7439-92-17, Pb, is an essential commodity ia the modem iadusttial world, ranking fifth ia tonnage consumed after iron (qv), copper (qv), aluminum (see Aluminumand aluminum alloys), and 2iac (see Zinc and zinc alloys). In 1993, the United States accounted for 30% of the 4,450,000 metric tons of refined lead consumed by the Western world. Slightly over half of the lead produced ia the world now comes from recycled sources (see Recycling, NONFERROUS LffiTALS). 

Lead—Calcium—Aluminum Alloys. Lead—calcium alloys can be protected against loss of calcium by addition of aluminum. Aluminum provides a protective oxide skin on molten lead—calcium alloys. Even when scrap is remelted, calcium content is maintained by the presence of 0.02 wt % aluminum. Alloys without aluminum rapidly lose calcium, whereas those that contain 0.03 wt % aluminum exhibit negligible calcium losses, as shown in Figure 8 (10). Even with less than optimum aluminum levels, the rate of oxidation is lower than that of aluminum-free alloys. 

Producing lead—calcium—aluminum alloys is difficult. Calcium and aluminum can be added simultaneously to lead using a calcium (73 wt %)—aluminum (27 wt %) master alloy (11) (see Aluminumand aluminum alloys). Using this method, the calcium and aluminum contents can be precisely controlled. Pressed pellets of metallic aluminum andmetaUic calcium are also used. 

Lead—Calcium-Tin Alloys. Tin additions to lead—calcium and lead—calcium—aluminum alloys enhances the mechanical (8) and electrochemical properties (12). Tin additions reduce the rate of aging compared to lead—calcium binary alloys. The positive grid alloys for maintenance-free lead—calcium batteries contain 0.3—1.2 wt % tin and also aluminum.
