Aluminium is a raw material used in many industries; however, industrial applications often use aluminium alloys of various compositions rather than pure aluminium.
Alloying elements and the composition used can affect the properties of the material, which is why aluminium alloy production can be an important part of industrial component manufacturing.
Why does the composition of the alloy matter?
Different aluminium alloys can have different properties. Depending on the application, adequate strength, machinability, castability or other technical properties may be important.
Therefore, when designing an industrial component, not only the shape and the production technology but also the choice of raw material is an important consideration.
Aluminium alloy production for industrial use
P-Metál Kft. is also engaged in the production of aluminium alloys. The alloys are produced in accordance with EN 1676:2010, and alloys of other compositions can also be produced to customer specification.
The alloys we produce include, among others:
AlSi7Mg, AlSi7Mg0,3, AlSi7Mg0,6, AlSi9Mg, AlSi10Mg(A), AlSi10Mg(B), AlSi12(A), AlSi12(B), AlSi8Cu3, AlSi12(Cu), AlSi12CuNiMg, AlMg5 and AlZn10Si8Mg.
How is alloy production related to casting?
The choice of aluminium alloy is closely linked to aluminium casting. Based on the requirements of the finished product, it is worth determining which material and which casting technology can be used.
In the production of custom aluminium castings, material selection and the casting process are therefore interrelated questions.
Choosing the right aluminium alloy can be particularly important for mechanical engineering, automotive, electrical or other industrial applications.
Alloys of custom composition
Not every industrial project requires raw material of the same composition. In some cases, the customer specifies the alloy to be used on the basis of specific technical requirements.
Therefore, in addition to standard aluminium alloys, P-Metál Kft. also welcomes industrial enquiries for the production of alloys of other compositions to customer specification.
In summary
Aluminium alloy production is an important part of industrial casting. Choosing the right material can help ensure that the finished aluminium casting meets the requirements of its intended use.
With more than 35 years of experience, P-Metál Kft. supports its partners in aluminium alloy production and aluminium casting.
