Aluminium mesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Mesh Masters can supply mesh produced out of aluminium.<\/p>\n

Aluminium is produced with raw material that is extracted from bauxite. To produce aluminium out of bauxite, a lot of energy is required. This is why the majority of the offered aluminium consist out of recycled material.
\nTo recycle aluminium, only 5% of the energy is used compared to extract it from bauxite.
\nAluminium is a material with relatively low weight, in general, high tensile strength and is a good conductor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Just as stainless steel, there are different alloys available for aluminium. Each with their own characteristics.
\nThese differences appear in weldability, how it can be deformed and corrosion-resistance.
\nAluminium is often applied because of the combination of relatively low weight and high strength.
\nLike stainless steel alloys, aluminium alloys are also classified into groups. These groups are divided according to the NEN-EN 573 standard.
\nOf course, not all alloys are suitable for weaving, knitting or perforated media, but in the overview below, some of these groups are explained.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

1000-series<\/h3>\n

The aluminium that includes this series, is unalloyed and contains at least 99,00% aluminium.
\nThis material is very suitable for welding, has a high corrosion resistance and is good to deform.
\nFurthermore, the alloys in this series have a high electrical conductivity.
\nAluminium from the 1000-series can be found in the chemical industry, food industry and can be used as high voltage- or welding cable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2000-series<\/h3>\n

In the 2000-series there is added copper to the aluminium.\u00a0 In general, together with magnesium. This alloy does require a heat treatment to achieve the best properties.
\nBecause of this composition, together with the treatments, this alloy has got a very high mechanical strength. On the other hand, this alloy is difficult to weld. Furthermore, the ability to deform this alloy and the corrosion resistance is lower than the 1000-series.
\nMaterial with this alloy is good to use for parts that require a good strength up to 150\u00b0C. Furthermore, constructions where a high strength\/weight ratio is required, aluminium from the 2000-series are very suitable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Vliegtuig<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

3000-series<\/h3>\n

Aluminium that is categorized in the 3000-series contains manganese.
\nMost of the alloys in this series are not suitable for hardening but are about 20% higher than aluminium from the 1000-series.
\nAlthough the strength of the alloys in the 3000-series is about 20% higher than the 1000-series, the strength is low.
\nAgainst this, this alloy is very suitable for welding, good to deform and is well resistant to corrosion.
\nExamples of the use of this alloy are heat-exchangers, storage tanks, corrugated sheets or cans.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Blikken<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

4000-series<\/h3>\n

Silicon is the main additive for aluminium in this series. There can be added up to 12% of this material. Because of this, the melting point is lower without the alloy is becoming brittle.
\nThis is why this alloy is often applied as a soldering material or welding additive.
\nMost of the 4000-series aren\u2019t able to harden.
\nWhen there is added enough silicon, the material can get an anthracite colour when anodize.
\nThis is why this alloy can be found in architecture.
\nAluminium from the 4000-series has got an average strength and tensile. The corrosion resistance is good and suitable for welding.
\nMaterial from the 4000-series is generally used as a casted alloy and is used, among other things, for cylinder heads, propeller blades and engines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

5000-series<\/h3>\n

In the 5000-series there is magnesium added as the most important element. This can be combined together with manganese.
\nAlloys in this series are good resistant against corrosion in maritime environments. Because of this, this alloy is often applied in shipping. Furthermore, this alloy can be found in bodywork construction and architecture.
\nThe strength is average to high, has got tolerable deformability, a good corrosion resistance and a good weldability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Monel<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

6000-series<\/h3>\n

Aluminium in this series can be hardened. This is because this alloy contains silicon and magnesium.
\nDue to the ratio of these elements in this alloy, Mg2Si can be formed.
\nWhen this alloy is solution annealed treated, it can be deformed well thermally (T4). After hardening, this alloy has got much more strength.
\nThe 6000-series aluminium are suitable for welding, is good resistant against corrosion and can be machined well. Furthermore, this alloy has got a good electrical conductivity.
\nThis alloy can be found in bike frames, electrical conductors, trains and bridges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

7000-series<\/h3>\n

In this category, the element zinc is added. When there is also added a small amount of magnesium, it is possible to harden this alloy.
\nBesides these elements, there are also added copper and chrome. When an alloy has got a high strength, it is generally more sensitive for stress corrosion.
\nThat is why this alloy is mainly used in the obsolete condition.
\nAlloys in this series can be found in aviation and mobile equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

8000-series<\/h3>\n

Aluminium in the 8000-series is an alloy that isn\u2019t applied often. This series is developed to create an even lighter alloy.
\nIt has got a 10% higher E-modulus and that is why it isn\u2019t easy to deform.<\/p>\n

Alloys from this series can be found in aerospace or aviation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
