Uses of Aluminium Alloys

Aluminum when combined with other metals gives strength and specific characteristics for a particular use. Aluminum alloys are extensively used in the production of automotive engine parts. The huge array of quality Aluminum is used in various applications like transport, packaging, electrical application, medicine, and construction of homes and furniture. The high altitude flying is not possible without the huge pressures and stresses involved in the strong aluminum alloys.

Uses
Brazing is the leading method of metal joining in many HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) appliances and equipment. It is also commonly used in joining or repairing copper pipes. As a general rule, brazing is used when solid, leak proof joints must be made without melting the base metals

Automotive industry uses brazing extensively, especially for brazing aluminum radiators, which use tube-to-fin and tube-to-header joints.

Brazing is also used in pipe and tube applications to extend length, fabricate shapes, join dissimilar materials, and to ensure a water or pressure tight joint. Common base metals include aluminum and its alloy, copper and alloy, steel and stainless steel.

Brazing applications extend to microwave reflectors, satellites, cameras, and other sophisticated instrumentation. Common base metals used include oxygen free copper, nickel, stainless steel, copper- nickel alloy, iron-nickel-cobalt alloys, and tungsten.

Uses
Cobalt is a strategic and critical metal used in many diverse commercial, industrial, and military applications. The largest use of cobalt in the aerospace industry is to make parts for gas turbine aircraft engines.

Heat resistant alloys of cobalt are used where high temperature performance, particularly creep resistance, is required. This alloy have been typically selected for gas turbine components such as blades, turbine wheels and latter stage compressor disks, which are subjected to long term rotational stresses and high temperatures.

Cobalt Alloy Also used for heat treating fabrications including furnaces, retorts and fixtures, for strength at temperature and resistance to oxidation, carburization, sulfication and nitriding.

Uses
Copper alloys have excellent electrical and thermal performance, good corrosion resistance, high ductility and relatively low cost. Copper alloy is used in hermetic seals, in automotive heat exchangers and copper tin alloys are primarily used for sleeve bearings due to its stronger and more ductility property. Copper alloys are less expensive than gold or platinum that is why largely utilized in odontological restorations. Due to high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity copper alloys are used in the manufacture of all types of electrical equipment.

Uses
Whether in the form of element or alloy with other metals, Nickel materials have made significant contributions to present-day society. Nickel alloys have good corrosion resistance and heat resistance. Nickel alloys are used for a wide variety of applications like aircraft gas turbines, nuclear power systems and widely used in chemical and petrochemical industries. Several nickel alloys are used in control equipments to determine and control electrical characteristics.

MIG Welding
Gas-Metal-Arc welding is generally called MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, into this process, the consumable travels through a nozzle and a top before it strikes an arc with the work piece. The arc atmosphere is shielded by gases like:
100% Arg0n
99% Argon with 1% Oxygen
97% Argon with 3% Carbon Dioxide

MIG welding is a high-productivity process. MIG welding doesn’t need expensive machinery and the welding machines are easily transportable, making this process very popular on construction sites. In MIG welding shielding gas, welding parameters, and the consumable assume an important role. Shielding gases are chosen taking quality, cost and operatibility into consideration.
