Mechanical properties of aluminium alloys highly depend on their phase composition and microstructure. High strength can be achieved among others by introduction of a high volume fraction of fine, homogeneously distributed second phase particles and by a refinement of the grain size.
Aluminium–magnesium alloys (AlMg) – standardised in the 5000 series – are aluminium alloys that are mainly made of aluminium and contain magnesium as the main alloy element. Most standardised alloys also contain small additives of manganese ( AlMg(Mn) ).
1 lip 2024 · The addtion of microalloying elements Sc, Zr, and other rare earth elements and transition group elements to 5xxx series aluminum alloys achieved simultaneous enhancement in strength and corrosion resistance, resulting in favorable comprehensive mechanical characteristics.
Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium (the lightest structural metal) with other metals (called an alloy), often aluminium, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium. Magnesium alloys have a hexagonal lattice structure, which affects the fundamental properties of these alloys.
General Characteristics. The unique combinations of properties provided by aluminum and its alloys make aluminum one of the most ver-satile, economical, and attractive metallic materials for a broad range of uses—from soft, highly ductile wrapping foil to the most demanding engi-neering applications.
This article contains comparison of key thermal and atomic properties of magnesium and aluminium, two comparable chemical elements from the periodic table. It also contains basic descriptions and applications of both elements.
Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys are alloys that contain up to 5% magnesium, providing high strength through work hardening. These alloys are widely used in welded applications, storage tanks, marine hulls, and superstructures due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
