Discontinued (Discontinued) AL6622 Aluminum Cerium Calcium Manganese Alloy Powder (AlCeCaMn)

Aluminium-Cerium-Calcium-Manganese Alloy Powder (AlCeCaMn) Description

Aluminium-Cerium-Calcium-Manganese Alloy Powder (AlCeCaMn) is a high-performance, spherical alloy powder characterised by excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. Its fine, uniform structure remains stable during temperature fluctuations, minimising grain growth and preserving mechanical integrity. The alloy exhibits outstanding oxidation and decomposition resistance in harsh environments, making it suitable for processing conditions where heat exposure is required. Additionally, its spherical morphology provides excellent flowability, packing density, and distribution - critical for uniform layer deposition in powder-based manufacturing processes. AlCeCaMn powder is non-hygroscopic and demonstrates good storage stability, with low reactivity and minimal contamination risk. These combined properties render it a reliable material when structural stability and longevity under demanding thermal conditions are essential.

Related Information

1. Raw Materials - Aluminium (Al)

Aluminium, with atomic number 13 and symbol Al, is a lightweight, silvery-white metal known for its low density (2.70 g/cm³) and excellent corrosion resistance. It has a melting point of 660.3 °C and exhibits high ductility, allowing it to be easily formed into sheets, wires, or powders. Aluminium possesses exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, surpassed only by copper among common metals. As the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, it is commonly used in aerospace, construction, packaging, and electronics. Its recyclability, requiring only 5% of the energy needed for primary production, further contributes to sustainability. In alloys such as AlMgSc, aluminium serves as the base matrix, providing structural integrity while maintaining lightweight properties.

Raw Materials - Cerium (Ce)

Cerium is a rare earth element that enhances the oxidation resistance and thermal stability of aluminium alloys. Its addition helps form a stable oxide layer, reducing corrosion at high temperatures. Cerium also improves the castability and flowability of the alloy, ensuring good mechanical properties even under elevated thermal conditions.

Raw Materials - Calcium (Ca)

Calcium acts as a grain refiner, improving the microstructure of the aluminium alloy and thereby increasing its strength and toughness. Adding calcium reduces impurities in the alloy and helps minimise brittleness during heat treatment, improving strength and durability at high temperatures.

Raw Materials - Manganese (Mn)

Manganese is a transition metal with atomic number 25, atomic weight 54.94 g/mol, a density of 7.21 g/cm³, and a melting point of 1,246 °C. It is one of the more common elements in the earth's crust and typically occurs in the form of oxides or silicates. Notable properties of manganese include high hardness, good wear resistance, and excellent alloy strengthening. In aluminium alloys, manganese enhances strength, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance through precipitation hardening in solid solution and the formation of diffuse phases (e.g., Al₆Mn) for grain refinement, particularly in saline or acidic environments. Moreover, manganese inhibits the recrystallisation tendency of aluminium alloys and improves high-temperature stability. Although used in small quantities (typically 0.5-1.5%), its effect in conjunction with magnesium, zirconium, and other elements can significantly optimise the overall performance of the alloy. Manganese is more significant in the steel industry (e.g., high-strength steels, stainless steels) but plays an indispensable role in aluminium-based alloys.
