Subject field(s)
  • Aluminum Alloys
DEF

Aluminum containing variable amounts of manganese, silicon, copper, magnesium, lead, bismuth, nickel, chromium, zinc, or tin.

OBS

Aluminum alloy [is a] general term for numerous alloys in which aluminum is the basis (that is predominant) metal; for example, aluminum-copper and aluminum-silicon alloys, Duralumin, Y-alloy, etc.

OBS

A wide range of uses and properties are possible. Alloys may be obtained for casting or working, heat-treatable or non-heat-treatable, with a wide range of strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability.

OBS

aluminum alloy: also called by some authors "light alloy." In fact, alloys of magnesium are also in use and are even lighter than aluminum alloys.

OBS

aluminium alloy: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alliages d'aluminium
DEF

Alliage dont l'aluminium est le composant prédominant.

CONT

Les alliages d'aluminium sont des matières métalliques dans lesquelles l'aluminium prédomine en masse sur chacun des autres éléments, pour autant a) que la teneur en masse d'au moins un de ces autres éléments, ou du total de fer + silicium, dépasse [certaines] limites [...] ou b) que la teneur totale en masse de ces autres éléments dépasse 1 % (m/m).

OBS

Les alliages d'aluminium peuvent se classer en 3 catégories : - Les alliages lourds, de densité supérieure à 6. - Les alliages de densité moyenne comprise entre 3 et 6. - Les alliages légers, de densité inférieure à 3.

OBS

Plusieurs auteurs définissent les «alliages légers» comme étant des «alliages d'aluminium».

OBS

Les alliages légers sont surtout à base d'aluminium et de magnésium.

OBS

alliage d'aluminium : terme normalisé par l'ISO et uniformisé par le Comité d’uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

DEF

A tiny finger of silicon that curves up out of the package housing a chip in order to connect with special pads on the chip’s surface.

CONT

A microclaw's size-a mere six-millionth of a meter across-means that each chip can have thousands rather than hundreds of connections with the outside world. Microclaws are made by coating the silicon of the package with a thin film made from an alloy of molybdenum and chromium.
