Lightweight Steel Alloys Sheet Metal

So you need to mix steel with something to make it lighter and aluminium is the obvious candidate because it s so lightweight and cheap.

Lightweight steel alloys sheet metal.

O neal steel offers three different grades of stainless steel. Copper brass and bronze commonly called red metals each of these alloys has a high copper content that provides good weather resistance. Aluminum is relatively easy to fabricate by forming machining or welding. It includes alloys 4130 4140 4340 es2100 and 8620.

Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight non ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance ductility and strength. Alloy steel stronger and harder than carbon steel alloy steel is preferred for high stress applications such as axles torsion bars and drive shafts. Accurate alloys stocks perforated metals in sheet or plate in the following materials. Its high strength hardness and workability makes stainless steel a useful metal type for a wide variety of uses.

Used in corrosion resistant applications. Aircraft bodies and aerospace components are typically composed by lightweight materials such as aluminum titanium and magnesium alloys. High strength and low cost. The problem here is that when you try to mix aluminium and steel an alloy of iron aluminium and carbon sometimes the aluminium and iron atoms would fuse together in weird ways forming dense crystalline structures referred to as b2.

This metal is a good electrical and thermal conductor. Light weight metals include aluminum magnesium titanium and beryllium alloys. Light weight for use in many aerospace applications. In this study incremental sheet forming process isf firstly described in 1994 was considered as an alternative to hot stamping of lightweight alloys.

Austenitic ferritic and martensitic.
