Grades, aluminium alloys

Another question is the stabilizer copper or aluminium Then there is the choice of coil structural materials austenitic steel or high-grade aluminium alloys The last item on the list concerns the action to be taken against the effects of transient fields, such as shielding at low temperatures and/or development of special magnetic field transparent superconductors.

Framework of load compensator on plane wings injection moulding of carbon fibre reinforced PEEK replaces the aluminium alloy previously used. This part plays a critical role in plane safety and must resist the static and dynamic stresses and hydraulic fluids. The grade selected after many tests has a high fluidity allowing the manufacture of parts with dimensions of 200 mm by 400 mm. With 30% carbon fibre reinforcement, this PEEK grade ... 

The most commonly used grade is 5052 H39 aluminium alloy with a corrosion resistant coating applied for general purpose applications. Properties are dependent on foil thickness, cell geometry and size. 

The aluminium alloys most frequently encountered are the 2(X)0, 7000 and, occasionally, the 6000 ranges with 2024 and 7075 grades being the most common aluminium-lithium alloys such as 8090C are also used in special applications.

In general, the dissolution rate of aluminium alloys is even higher than that of aluminium grade of the 1000 series. 

This is a strong acid and one of the most aggressive products towards aluminium and even more so towards aluminium alloys [1]. For grades of the 1000 series, the dissolution rate slightly decreases with increasing aluminium content. 

Tensile shear strength of the Standard grade varies on different materials as follows aluminium alloy - 18 N/mm, mild steel - 24 N/mm, stainless steel - 22 N/mm, copper - 23 N/mm, brass - 22 N/mm, The strength is constant at temperatures of minus 60 to plus 20 degrees, but then gradually falls... 

Contact of brass, bronze, copper or the more resistant stainless steels with the 13% Cr steels in sea-water can lead to accelerated corrosion of the latter. Galvanic contact effects on metals coupled to the austenitic types are only slight with brass, bronze and copper, but with cadmium, zinc, aluminium and magnesium alloys, insulation or protective measures are necessary to avoid serious attack on the non-ferrous material. Mild steel and the 13% chromium types are also liable to accelerated attack from contact with the chromium-nickel grades. The austenitic materials do not themselves suffer anodic attack in sea-water from contact with any of the usual materials of construction. 

The most important ferrite formers are chromium, silicon, molybdenum, niobium, titanium and aluminium. The ferritic and martensitic grades have already been described in chapter 3. The alloys of the present section, belonging to the ferritic-austenitic and the austenitic groups were chosen to give examples of the different solidification paths. The alloys are listed in table 4.2 in order of increasing tendency to solidify as austenite ... 

Common product forms, tensile strength, and resistance to atmospheric corrosion of some wrought aluminium materials are shown in Table 10.11. The strongest grades of the various alloys imply lower ductility, i.e. elongation mainly within the range 2-12%, compared to 15-35% for the softest grades. A number of fields of application of the same materials are listed in Table 10.12.
