Aluminum rod is a kind of aluminum product. The melting and casting of aluminum rod includes melting, purification, impurity removal, degassing, slag removal and casting process.

According to the different metal elements contained in aluminum rods, aluminum rods can be roughly divided into 8 categories.

It was not until the end of the 19th century that aluminum emerged as a competitive metal in engineering applications and was all the rage. The development of the three important industries of aviation, construction, and automobile requires that the material properties have the unique properties of aluminum and its alloys, which greatly facilitates the production and application of this new metal-aluminum.

1000 series aluminum rods represent 1050, 1060, 1100 series. Among all the series, the 1000 series belongs to the series with the most aluminum content. The purity can reach more than 99.00%. Because it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in conventional industries at present. Most of the circulating in the market are 1050 and 1060 series. 1000 series aluminum rods determine the minimum aluminum content of this series according to the last two Arabic numerals. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of 1050 series are 50. According to the international brand naming principle, the aluminum content must reach more than 99.5% to be a qualified product. my country’s aluminum alloy technical standard (g B/T3880-2006) also clearly stipulates that the aluminum content of 1050 should reach 99.5%. In the same way, the aluminum content of 1060 series aluminum bars must reach more than 99.6%.

2000 series aluminum alloy represents 2A16 (LY16), 2A02 (LY6). The 2000 series aluminum rods are characterized by high hardness, among which the content of copper is the highest, about 3-5%. The 2000 series aluminum rods belong to aviation aluminum and are not commonly used in conventional industries.

After heat treatment (T3, T4, T351), the mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum rods are significantly improved. The T3 state parameters are as follows: tensile strength 470MPa, 0.2% yield strength 325MPa, elongation: 10%, fatigue strength 105MPa, hardness 120HB.

Main uses of 2024 aluminum rods: aircraft structures, rivets, truck hubs, propeller components and other structural parts

3000 series aluminum rods mainly represent 3003 and 3A21. my country’s 3000 series aluminum rod production technology is relatively good. 3000 series aluminum rods are made of manganese as the main component. The content is between 1.0-1.5, which is a series with better anti-rust function.

4000 series aluminum rods The aluminum rods represented by 4A01 4000 series belong to the series with high silicon content. Usually the silicon content is between 4.5-6.0%. It belongs to building materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, welding materials; low melting point, good corrosion resistance, product description: It has the characteristics of heat resistance and wear resistance.

1000 series
