Material Selection: Al-Mg-Si-Fe Alloy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on selecting a suitable aluminum alloy based on a specified composition. The material composition includes 82.918% Al, 0.063% Mg, 12.603% Si, and varying percentages of other elements like Fe, Cu, and Mn. The closest match identified is aluminum alloy 4032, primarily due to its Si and Fe content, although the levels of Cr and Cu are noted to be higher than typical. Other potential candidates mentioned include alloys 4047 and 4147. If the material is cast, it aligns closely with A339.0 and A339.1. The high silicon content suggests it may be a casting alloy, indicating a focus on applications requiring specific mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Please help me in selecting material Selection

the % is given
Al=82.918%,Mg=0.063%,si=12.603%,Fe=0.991,cu=2.612%,Mn=0.188%,cr=.038%,Ni=0.131%,Zn=0.118%,Sn=0.188%,Ti=.069%,Pb=0.181%
what will be the name of material.

About the closest Al alloy is 4032 based on the Si and Fe content, but some of the other elements like Cr and Cu seem a bit high.

The other close ones would be 4047 and 4147.

If its cast, it comes close to A339.0 and A339.1

Alloy numbers are AA numbers.
 
With Si that high the first thing I thought about was some form of a casting alloy.
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
