Aluminized steel is formed when steel is coated, via hot-dip process, with aluminum-silicon alloy or commercially pure aluminum – offering many advantages over either material alone. Corrosion resistance is another of the many advantages offered by powder coating for steel surfaces. A protective layer forms around it that blocks oxygen and water molecules from penetrating […]

Alumina is the primary element in aluminum. To extract it from bauxite (an aluminum-rich laterite mineral), using the Bayer process. This involves dissolving aluminum-bearing minerals into caustic soda solution before precipitating crystalline sodium aluminate crystals from their solution. Alumina ceramics are dense, long-wearing materials with outstanding electrical properties. Used in tubes, insulators and other industrial

Alumina boasts superior thermal and electrical insulating properties, making it suitable for high temperature environments such as those found in X-ray components, high voltage bushings, as well as special crucibles used in both metallurgical and chemical processes. Alumina can exist in several structural phases, but most often returns to its hexagonal alpha phase at elevated

Aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant element on Earth and its compounds have long been utilized by humanity since antiquity. Ancient Greeks used alumen as both an astringent and medicinal remedy; additionally it served as a mordant when dyeing fabric. Pure aluminum is soft, lightweight, and conducts electricity efficiently, as well as being highly

Due to its low vapor pressure and solubility in many chemicals, alumina is widely utilized in electrical applications. Furthermore, its superior corrosion-resistance makes it an invaluable material. Aluminum conducts electricity quite readily when in its raw state; however, surface treatments such as coating and anodizing can decrease conductivity, while paints or other finishes can have

Activated alumina’s porous structure and expansive surface area enable it to trap moisture and contaminants efficiently, an attribute which makes it especially valuable in industries such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, where moisture-related problems such as corrosion or malfunction can have major repercussions for products and processes. Whenever handling activated alumina, be sure to wear appropriate

The aluminate phase comprises up to 11% of total cement volume and helps contribute early strength. Unfortunately, its resistance to sulfate attack and hydraulic properties are poor; increasing its content reduces set time and heat of hydration but does not improve sulfate resistance. Al is typically coordinated to four, five, or six oxygen atoms in

Young’s modulus aluminas are widely utilized engineering applications. Their elastic properties can be accurately assessed using non-destructive Sonelastic Systems testing at room temperature as well as low and high temperatures, for a complete characterisation. Tensile tests are an efficient and straightforward method for gathering young’s modulus data, subjecting samples gradually to increasing tension until their

Ford Performance’s Aluminator engine is one of their latest naturally aspirated modular crate engines and is constructed on a Gen-3 5.0L Coyote block assembled by Performance Assembly Solutions in Livonia, Michigan. Each 5.2L Aluminator short block features Mahle(r) 12.0:1 compression ratio forged pistons and premium Manley H-beam connecting rods from Manley. Designed to seamlessly integrate

Alumina ceramics are versatile advanced materials with many applications. Due to their superior thermal conductivity, insulation properties, corrosion resistance and hardness they’ve become popular choices in numerous manufacturing processes. However, their conductivity varies with temperature due to temperature-induced changes in microstructure and porosity of alumina. Thermal Conductivity Alumina ceramics are highly sought-after industrial applications due
