Product Introduction:

Aluminum alloys usually contain 90-96% aluminum with one or more alloying elements added to improve properties. Although many metals form alloys with aluminum, few of them have significant solubility in aluminum. Among the alloy additives, magnesium has a high solubility in aluminum. Despite the significant benefits of adding magnesium to aluminum alloys, the addition of magnesium in amounts greater than 5.5 weight percent faces many technological challenges.

The most important challenge of this task is the difficulty of adding high amounts of magnesium to the aluminum melt. Due to the great tendency of magnesium to react with oxygen, with the increase in the amount of magnesium, the tendency to oxidation becomes more severe, and the control of melting and casting operations get complicated. As a result, large amounts of ofalls and oxide impurities are formed inside the aluminum alloy. The presence of these oxide particles, which are mostly aluminum-magnesium spinels, leads to a decrease in the quality of aluminum alloys and greatly reduces the formability and fatigue life of these alloys. Removing these impurities from the melt is often impossible or very difficult.

The addition of elements such as copper, zinc and silicon to aluminum changes the strengthening mechanism from solid solution to Precipitation hardening (age hardening), and thus limits the deformability of aluminum alloys. The magnesium element does not face such a limitation and without changing the strengthening mechanism, up to 17 weight percent of it is added to aluminum.

Technical Specifications:

ECOALMAG6 and ECOALMAG8 aluminum-magnesium alloys contain 6 and 8 weight percent of magnesium, respectively. Aluminum-magnesium binary alloy has very favorable plasticity and tensile properties. The density of ECOALMAG6 and ECOALMAG8 alloys is about 26,000 kg/m3, which are produced in the form of billets with a diameter of 7 inches and by the Die-Cast method. The mechanical properties of the samples are according to the following table:

ECOALMAG8	ECOALMAG6
The yield strength is between 169 and 647 MPa (with the cold rolling process, the yield strength increases from 169 MPa to 647 MPa)	The yield strength is between 120 and 573 MPa (by performing the cold rolling process, the yield strength increases from 120 MPa to 573 MPa)
The ultimate tensile strength is between 347 and 690 MPa (with the cold rolling process, the ultimate tensile strength increases from 347 MPa to 690 MPa)	The ultimate tensile strength is between 292 and 593 MPa (by performing the cold rolling process, the ultimate tensile strength increases from 292 MPa to 593 MPa)
The elongation percentage is between %3.7 and %36.6 (by performing the cold rolling process, the elongation percentage of the alloy decreases from %36.6 to %3.7)	The percentage of elongation is between 2 and 36% (by performing the cold rolling process, the percentage of elongation of the alloy decreases from 36% to 2%)
