Element Composition | Properties | Uses |
---|---|---|
i)Duralumin, Al = 95%, Cu = 4%, Mn = 0.5%, Mg = 0.5% | 1.It is light weighted,,tough, highly ductile, easily castable,,good conductor of heat &electricity,& Corrosion resistant., 2.It can easily be worked as it possesses high machinability, 3.Its tensile strength can be raised up to 2000kg/cm2 without affecting ductility, 4.It approaches steel in strength and yet its density is one third of steel | 1.It is used in aircraft industry., 2.It is also used in making surgical instruments & cables& fluorescent tube caps, 3.It is also used in making automobile& locomotive parts because of its high ductility & good electrical conductivity |
