Aluminium–magnesium–silicon alloys are aluminium alloys—alloys that are mainly made of aluminium—that contain both magnesium and silicon as the most important alloying elements in terms of quantity. B

Aluminium–copper alloys are aluminium alloys that consist largely of aluminium and a small percentage of copper as the main alloying elements. Important variants also contain additives of magnesium, i

…a denser dispersion of needle-shaped, semi-coherent excretion (cluster of magnesium and silicon). In addition, there is the phase before the for the aluminium–copper alloys are typical. Alloys with higher copper content (alloyings 6061, 6056, 6013) are mainly used in aviation. Iron occurs in all aluminium alloys as an…
