Product Description

Aluminum alloy is a combination of aluminum and different metals, like copper, magnesium, silicon, tin, and zinc to improve its characteristics. It is produced by melting aluminum in its pure form and mixing in the required alloying components in specific ratios, then pouring and processing mechanically. It is divided into two categories including wrought alloys, which undergo mechanical working, and cast alloys, which are created through casting, each offering distinct benefits based on the specific needs of the application.

The lightweight properties of aluminum alloy lower the use of fuel, which helps the automobile and aerospace sectors to save energy. It is an eco-friendly choice that promotes sustainability and reduces environmental effects because of its recyclable nature. It is ideal for heat exchangers, radiators, and other thermal management applications due to its exceptional thermal conductivity.
