Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry needs high performing aluminium alloys which, depending on the use, should give to the casting:
- Huge elongation,
- Huge corrosion resistance together with light-weight and weldability,
- Stable behavior in high temperature environment.
The requested alloys belong to the families:
Al-Si, Al-Mg, Al-Cu, Al-CuNi, Al-CuSn
Navy Industry
The Navy industry needs aluminium alloys which, depending on the use, should give to the casting:
- Huge yield strength and elongation,
- Huge corrosion resistance together with light-weight and weldability and stamp riveting,
- Cathodic protection.
The requested alloys belong to the families:
Al-ZnIn, Al-CuSn, Al-Mg, Al-Si, Al-SiCu
Automotive Industry
The automotive industry needs high performing aluminium alloys which, depending of the use, should give to the casting:
- Huge elongation,
- Light-weight and weldability,
- Stable behavior in high temperature environment.
The alloys needed are of the families:
Al-Si, Al-SiMn, Al SiCu, Al-CuSn, Al-Mg, Al-CuNi, Al-SiMnMoZr, Al-E-use
Wrough product Industry
Depending of the products to be realized, the wrought alloys in ingots offered vary in terms of chemical analysis, according to the EN AW 573-3:2007 and following edition, as well as according to customer specifications.
Aluphoenix wrought alloys in ingots are both a technical and strategic solution, which provides the customer peculiar added values:
- Ingots finely degassed and filtered in line, which grant a high metal yield by melting; Aluphoenix ingots of its Italian plant, have the highest density in Europe,
- Chemical analysis already of the wrought product to be produced, avoiding the need to melt primary Al together with scrap and master alloys: So, less process costs and risk of analytic and metallurgic non- compliance
- Kg of CO2e / Kg wrought product as well as recycling rate needed, already within the ingot molten: Aluphoenix, thanks to its process, plant and Carbon Footprint innovative tool, is the sole company able to declare the Kg CO2e and the recycling rate specifically referred to a single cast: So, no average data, but real and punctual sustainability ones, which the customer can spend by its clients.
