Aluminum alloys are alloys in
which aluminum (Al) is the predominant metal. The most
common alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese,
silicon and zinc. |

Aluminum alloys are widely used
in engineering structures and components where light
weight or corrosion resistance is required. In
general, stiffer and lighter designs can be achieved
with aluminum alloys than is feasible with steels.
Cast aluminum alloys produce cost effective products due to
the low melting point. The most important cast aluminum
alloy system is Al-Si, where the high levels of silicon
(4.0% to 13%) contribute to provide good casting
characteristics.
C & L Aluminum Foundry, Inc. casts aluminum alloys in the
3xx.x and 7xx.x series. We purchase certified aluminum
ingots to guarantee our castings meet our customers chemical
specifications. |
