| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Overview | The 1xx.x series offers the highest corrosion resistance among cast aluminum alloys due to its protective oxide layer. Easy to cast due to its low melting point, but rarely used in as-cast form due to significant shrinkage during solidification. |
| Strengths | – Exceptional corrosion resistance – High conductivity, ductility, weldability, and workability |
| Limitations | – Low strength and hardness – High shrinkage (~7%) during solidification, leading to hot cracking |
| Designation | Classified as the 1xx.x series |
| Applications | Primarily used in specific electrical applications; rare in as-cast condition. |
| Material Composition and Microstructure | Composition: Contains more than 99.5% aluminum Microstructure: Face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure |
| Effect of Composition | Adding alloying elements reduces corrosion resistance. |
| Processing and Manufacturing Properties | Available Forms: Suitable for sand, permanent mold, pressure die, investment, and plaster casting Forming: Highly castable and very workable Heat Treatment: Not heat-treatable Joining: Excellent weldability |
