Industry background:
& nbsp; Aluminum ingot, the raw material used in our daily industry, is called aluminum ingot. According to the national standard (GB/T1196-93), it should be called" Aluminum ingots for remelting;, But everyone is used to calling it" Aluminum ingots;. It is produced by electrolysis using alumina cryolite. & nbsp; After aluminum ingots enter industrial applications, there are two main categories: cast aluminum alloys and deformed aluminum alloys. Cast aluminum and aluminum alloys are castings produced by casting methods; Deformed aluminum and aluminum alloys are processed products produced by pressure processing methods, including plates, strips, foils, tubes, rods, profiles, wires, and forgings. According to? Aluminum ingots for remelting? National standards; Aluminum ingots for remelting are divided into six grades based on their chemical composition, namely Al99.85, Al99.80, Al99.70, Al99.60, Al99.50, and Al99.00; (Note: The number after Al is the aluminum content). & nbsp; & nbsp; Currently, someone is calling; A00” Aluminum, in fact, is aluminum with a purity of 99.7%, which is called" in the London market; Standard aluminum;. As everyone knows, in the 1950s, China's technical standards all came from the former Soviet Union; A00” It is a Russian trademark in the Soviet national standard; A” It's a Russian letter, not an English letter; A” Characters are not the same as Chinese pinyin letters; A”。 If it is in line with international standards, it is called" Standard Aluminum; More accurate. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Standard aluminum is an aluminum ingot containing 99.7% aluminum, which is registered in the London market. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Introduction to Practical Knowledge of Non ferrous Metals& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Classification and product grade representation methods for non-ferrous metals& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; 1、 Classification of Nonferrous Metals& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; (1) Non ferrous pure metals are divided into five categories: heavy metals, light metal, precious metals, semi metals and rare metals. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; (2) Non ferrous alloys are classified by alloy system: heavy non-ferrous alloys, light non-ferrous alloys, precious metal alloys, rare metal alloys, etc; According to the purpose of the alloy, it can be divided into: deformation (alloy for pressure processing), casting alloy, bearing alloy, printing alloy, hard alloy, solder, intermediate alloy, metal powder, etc. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; (3) Non ferrous materials are classified by chemical composition: copper and copper alloy materials, aluminum and aluminum alloy materials, lead and lead alloy materials, nickel and nickel alloy materials, titanium and titanium alloy materials. When classified by shape, it can be divided into: plate, strip, strip, foil, tube, bar, wire, type, etc. & nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; 2、 Product brand representation method& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; (1) Naming Principles& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; The naming of non-ferrous metal and alloy product grades requires the use of Chinese pinyin letters or international element symbols as the subject word code to indicate their category, such as L or AL for aluminum, T or Cu for copper. After the theme word, it is represented by combining the numerical order of ingredients with the product category. The code after the subject word can indicate the state, characteristics, or main components of the product, such as LF being an aluminum (L) alloy that is resistant to (F) rust; LD is an aluminum (L) alloy used for forging (D); LY is a hard (Y) aluminum (L) alloy, and the theme word for these three alloys is aluminum alloy (L). For example, QSn is a type of copper with tin (Sn) as the main additive element; QAL9-4 indicates that green (Q) copper contains aluminum (AL), with 9% aluminum added and 4% other added elements. The theme word for these two alloys is bronze (Q). Therefore, the product code is represented by a combination of Chinese pinyin letters, chemical element symbols, and Arabic numerals for the subject words specified in the standard (GB340-78).

Such as R (hot) for hot working, C (quenched) for quenching, B (not) for non aluminum coating, X (fine) for fine particles, etc. But there are also a few exceptions, such as high-quality surface O (visualized as perfect), etc. The status and characteristic codes are shown in Table 3Table 3 Status and characteristic codes of non-ferrous metal and alloy products nameUsing code nameUsing codeHot working (such as hot rolling and hot extrusion)R High quality surfaceOAnnealing (braising)M Painted surfaceQquenchC Thickened aluminizedJCold rolling after quenching (cold work hardening)CY Non aluminizedBQuenching (natural aging)CZ hard quality close goldSurface coatingUQuenching (artificial aging)CS Add tantalum carbideAhardY Add niobium carbideN3/4 hard, 1/2 hardY1、Y2 Fine particlesX1/3 hardY3 Coarse particlesC1/4 hardY4 Ultrafine particlesHExtra hardT (2) Examples of brand representation methods are shown in Table 4Table 4 Example of brand representation methods for non-ferrous metal and alloy products name CodeGradeexplainPure metalSmelting productionproductcopperaluminiumnickelCu-1Al99.5Ni-011 # copper1 # aluminumSpecial grade nickelBoth are represented by chemical element symbols combined with sequence numbers or numbers representing the main components.
