One. use

Aluminum alloy is made of pure aluminum and some alloying elements, such as Al-Mn alloy, Al-Cu alloy, Al-Cu-Mg hard aluminum alloy and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu superhard aluminum alloy. Compared with pure aluminum, aluminum alloy has better physical and mechanical properties: easy processing, high durability, wide application range, good decorative effect and rich colors. Aluminum alloys are divided into rust-proof aluminum, hard aluminum, ultra-hard aluminum and so on. Each type has its own scope of use and its own code name for users to choose from.

Aluminum alloy still maintains the characteristics of light weight, but its mechanical properties are obviously improved. The application of aluminum alloy material has the following three aspects: first, it is used as a stress member; Second, as a material for doors, windows, pipes, covers, shells and so on; Third, it is used as decoration and thermal insulation materials. Using the characteristics that aluminum alloy can be colored after anodic oxidation, various decorations are made. The surfaces of aluminum alloy plates and profiles can be processed twice, such as anticorrosion, embossing, painting and printing. , and made into various decorative plates and profiles as decorative materials.

Aluminum alloy is one of the most widely used antirust aluminum. Its strength is not high enough to be strengthened by heat treatment. In the annealed state, it has high plasticity, good corrosion, good weldability and poor machinability. Used for manufacturing low-load parts such as oil tanks, oil pipes and liquid containers. Require high plasticity and good weldability, and work in liquid or gas medium; Metal wire can be used to make rivets.

Two. Overview of aluminum alloys (data)

Al-based alloy. The main alloying elements are copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese, and the secondary alloying elements are nickel, iron, titanium, chromium and lithium.

Aluminum alloy has low density, but its strength is relatively high, close to or higher than that of high-quality steel. Good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, and has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industry, and its usage is second only to steel.

Aluminum alloys are divided into two categories: cast aluminum alloys, which are used as cast; Deformed aluminum alloy can withstand pressure processing, and its mechanical properties are higher than as-cast. Can be processed into various forms and specifications of aluminum alloy materials. Mainly used for manufacturing aviation equipment, daily necessities, building doors and windows, etc.

Aluminum alloys can be divided into wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys according to processing methods. Wrought aluminum alloys can be divided into non-heat treated aluminum alloys and heat treated aluminum alloys. Non-heat treatment strengthening type can not improve mechanical properties through heat treatment, but only through cold working deformation, mainly including high-purity aluminum, industrial high-purity aluminum, industrial pure aluminum and rust-proof aluminum. Heat-treatable strengthened aluminum alloys can improve their mechanical properties by means of heat treatment such as quenching and aging, which can be divided into hard aluminum, forged aluminum, superhard aluminum and special aluminum alloys.

Aluminum alloy can obtain good mechanical properties, physical properties and corrosion resistance through heat treatment.

Cast aluminum alloys can be divided into aluminum-silicon alloy, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy and aluminum-zinc alloy according to chemical composition.

[Edit this paragraph] Pure aluminum products

Pure aluminum can be divided into two categories: smelting products and pressure processing products. The former is represented by the chemical composition al, and the latter is represented by the Chinese phonetic alphabet LG (aluminum, industrial).

[Edit this paragraph] Pressure processing aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloy pressure processing products are divided into seven categories: rust prevention (LF), hardness (LY), forging (LD), superhard (LC), cladding (LB), special (LT) and brazing (LQ). The commonly used aluminum alloy materials are annealed (M-annealed), quenched (Y) and hot rolled (R).

[Edit this paragraph] Aluminum material

Aluminum and aluminum alloys processed into certain shapes are collectively called aluminum materials, including plates, belts, foils, tubes, rods, wires and profiles.

[Edit this paragraph] Casting aluminum alloy

Cast aluminum alloy (ZL) can be divided into four categories, namely, silicon, copper, magnesium and zinc, with code names 100, 200, 300 and 400 respectively.

[Edit this paragraph] High strength aluminum alloy

High-strength aluminum alloy refers to aluminum alloy with tensile strength greater than 480 MPa, mainly including hard aluminum alloy, superhard aluminum alloy and casting alloy.

[Edit this paragraph] aluminum alloy defect repair

In the process of aluminum alloy production, casting defects such as shrinkage cavity, sand hole, air hole and slag inclusion are easy to occur. How to repair defects such as air holes in aluminum alloy castings? If electric welding, argon arc welding and other equipment are used for repair, it is easy to produce side effects such as thermal deformation due to large heat release, which can not meet the requirements of repair welding.

The cold welding repair machine uses the principle of high frequency electric spark instantaneous discharge and non-thermal surfacing to repair casting defects. Because the heat affected zone of cold welding is small, it will not cause annealing deformation, cracks, hard spots and hardening of the base metal. Moreover, the welding strength is high, the auxiliary materials and the matrix are solidified after melting at the same time, and the combination is firm, which can be processed by grinding, milling, filing and the like. , and dense does not fall off. Cold welding repair machine is an ideal method to repair tiny defects such as air holes and sand holes in aluminum alloy.
