Metallurgy. Lithium forms alloys with numerous metals. Early uses of lithium alloys were made in Germany with the production of the lead alloy, BahnmetaH (0.04% Li), which was used for bearings for railroad cars, and the aluminum alloy, Scleron. In the United States, the aluminum alloy X-2020 (4.5% Cu, 1.1% Li, 0.5% Mn, 0.2% Cd, balance Al) was introduced in 1957 for stmctural components of naval aircraft. The lower density and stmctural strength enhancement of aluminum lithium alloys compared to normal aluminum alloys make it attractive for uses in airframes. A distinct lithium—aluminum phase (Al Li) forms in the alloy which bonds tightly to the host aluminum matrix to yield about a 10% increase in the modules of elasticity of the aluminum lithium alloys produced by the main aluminum producers. The density of the alloys is about 10% less than that of other stmctural aluminum alloys. 

Sihcon carbide is comparatively stable. The only violent reaction occurs when SiC is heated with a mixture of potassium dichromate and lead chromate. Chemical reactions do, however, take place between sihcon carbide and a variety of compounds at relatively high temperatures. Sodium sihcate attacks SiC above 1300°C, and SiC reacts with calcium and magnesium oxides above 1000°C and with copper oxide at 800°C to form the metal sihcide. Sihcon carbide decomposes in fused alkahes such as potassium chromate or sodium chromate and in fused borax or cryohte, and reacts with carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ak, and steam. Sihcon carbide, resistant to chlorine below 700°C, reacts to form carbon and sihcon tetrachloride at high temperature. SiC dissociates in molten kon and the sihcon reacts with oxides present in the melt, a reaction of use in the metallurgy of kon and steel (qv). The dense, self-bonded type of SiC has good resistance to aluminum up to about 800°C, to bismuth and zinc at 600°C, and to tin up to 400°C a new sihcon nitride-bonded type exhibits improved resistance to cryohte. 

Because alterations to equipment design can be cumbersome and expensive, a more economical approach may be to change the metallurgy of affected components. Metals used in typical cooling water environments vary in their resistance to erosion-corrosion. Listed in approximate order of increasing resistance to erosion-corrosion, these are copper, brass, aluminum brass, cupronickel, steel, low-chromium steel, stainless steel, and titanium.

The use of large amounts of electrical energy in electrolysis makes production of aluminum from ores an expensive metallurgy. Methods for recycling used A1 use less than 10% of the energy required to make new metal from bauxite by the Hall-Heroult process. 

Processing of Powder Metallurgy Alloys. Powder metallurgy processed aluminum alloys suffer from three major microstructural problems that limit their full potential prior-particle boundaries with an aluminum oxide film, microstructural inhomogeneity, and remnant porosity. These microstructural features particularly hamper the ductility in very high-strength aluminum alloys. Berbon et al. (Ref 59, 134)... 

In metallurgy it may be desirable to prolong the molten state of a metal before and after pouring. Contamination may be tolerable if the additives float as a slag on top of the metal. This type of pyrochemical heating is the subject of a British patent that claims mixtures of aluminum and silicon with salt-type oxidizers and sand. These are molded into slabs and put into packages to be laid on the surface of the molten metal.
