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)
