Hot forging Aluminium
Watch a simulation video of hot forging aluminium
Characteristics of hot-forged aluminum
- Hot-forged aluminium offers better mechanical characteristics than die casting
- Hot-forging crée un fibrage linéaire favorable (?)
- Hot-forged Offers the advantage of excellent material health, good surface condition, no porosity, very good waterproofing
- At equal volume, aluminum has 34% of the weight of the steel (density 2.7 for 7.85)
- Aluminum is an excellent conductor of temperature, 1.8 times better than copper
-Recycling aluminum is easy and economical, environmentally friendly
The different aluminum families
1000 – Used for mechanical components with anodization (electricity, chemistry, agri-food)
2000 – Used in industry including aeronautics (easy machining)
5000 – Used in construction
6000 – Used in the automotive and nautical industries (resistance to corrosion)
7000 – Used in armaments, aeronautics and sport (mechanical resistance)
