Aluminium alloys are made by combining aluminium with elements such as copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc, and manganese to improve strength, hardness, and other properties. These alloys are categorized into two types: wrought alloys (processed mechanically) and cast alloys (shaped via casting). Aluminium alloys are lightweight yet strong, offering excellent corrosion resistance and workability. They are widely used in aerospace, automotive, marine, and structural applications where high strength-to-weight ratio is essential. Different series of aluminium alloys (like 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx) serve various purposes based on their composition and properties. They also maintain aluminium’s recyclability and non-toxic nature, making them ideal for sustainable engineering.
