Different Forms of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
Classification
1. The production process of electrolytic aluminum: bauxite → alumina → electrolytic aluminum.
2. According to the main component content of aluminum ingots, it can be divided into three categories: high-grade pure aluminum (aluminum content of 99.93%-99.999%), industrial high-purity aluminum (aluminum content of 99.85%-99.90%) and industrial pure aluminum (aluminum content 98.0%-99.7%).
3. According to the market product types of aluminum ingots, it can be divided into three categories: one is processed materials, such as aluminum plates, aluminum strips, aluminum foils, tubes, rods, forgings, powders, aluminum slug, etc. ; another kind is cast aluminum alloys, wire rods, cables etc.; the third category is all kinds of aluminum products in daily life.
Application
For nearly five decades, aluminum has become one of the most widely used metals in the world. Especially in recent years, aluminum, as an environmentally friendly material for energy saving and consumption reduction, has been further expanded in terms of application scope and consumption. Especially in the construction industry, transportation industry and packaging industry, the aluminum consumption of these three major industries generally accounts for about 60% of the total aluminum consumption in the year.
In the construction industry, due to the stability of aluminum in the air and the excellent appearance after anodizing, aluminum is more and more widely used in the construction industry, especially in aluminum alloy doors and windows, aluminum-plastic pipes, decorative panels , Aluminum curtain wall and other applications.
In the transportation industry, in order to reduce the weight of the vehicle itself and reduce the pollution of exhaust emissions to the environment, motorcycles, various types of automobiles, trains, subways, airplanes, ships and other transportation vehicles have begun to use aluminum and aluminum alloys as components.
In the packaging industry, the scope of aluminum for various flexible packaging, all-aluminum cans, various bottle caps and easy-open lids, and pharmaceutical packaging is also expanding. In other consumer fields, its usage and prospects in electronics and electrical appliances, household appliances (refrigerators, air conditioners), and daily hardware are getting wider and wider.
