Aluminum-Characteristics

This has light weight but when we prepare alloys using this, strengths generated. It is highly ductile, resistant to corrosion and non toxic. Change in color not occurs while heating. Thermal conductivity is greater and when exposed to air, oxide films are produced on the surface. Heat treatable aluminum alloys acquire properties which are very unique by solution heat treating, quenching, aging etc. Additional strength by cold working may also be employed. Ductility can be enhanced by annealing.
