Aluminum processing and production

Production

The process of producing non-ferrous metals is very labor-intensive and involves several stages. One of the main methods of producing aluminum is electrolysis, which produces ingots of the primary metal. These are then used either as finished products or as material for the production of aluminum alloys with given characteristics. Another advantage of modern aluminium production technology is its simple and cost-effective processing. It is a metal that can be remelted an infinite number of times.

Alloying

Additionally, we can highlight the fact that the processing technology of aluminum alloys involves the addition of alloying components. Among the most common are:

-silicon;
-Magnesium;
-copper.
Alloy aluminum alloys are the basis for the production of reliable parts for automotive, shipbuilding and aircraft industries.

Heat Treatment

Three main types of heat treatment are used for this metal:
- Annealing;
-Hardening;
Annealing; -Hardening; -Aging.
The first is aimed at increasing ductility and also has several subtypes (depending on the nonequilibrium state of the alloy). As previously mentioned, the peculiarities of the treatment of this metal also include the processes of hardening and aging of the workpiece. The main purpose of these procedures is to increase the strength characteristics of the finished products. Aging is the process whereby the supersaturated solid solution decays in the alloy after quenching without a polymorphic transformation. The phenomenon of aging in aluminum alloys was discovered by Wilm. He found that an aluminium alloy with copper and magnesium that had been quenched at 500°C in water became stronger and harder after four days of exposure (t° 50°C) without loss of ductility. Heating accelerated the aging process. Of the aluminum alloys, alloy D16 had the greatest effect of heat treatment.
