Abstract :
Metallurgy is the science and technology of
metals and alloys. It involves the production of metals by
processing the ores to extract the metal they contain, and
the mixing of metals or other elements to produce alloys.
metals generally exhibit very particular properties; these
properties are often limited to a very narrow field of
application. The art of the metallurgist is to create alloys
from a given base metal, like aluminium, copper, iron,
etc. by adding controlled proportions of other metals or
metalloids to improve or modify certain properties such
as mechanical properties, formability, weldability.
Aluminium is an extremely versatile metal and can be
cast, melted, formed, machined, and extruded with
several advantages, it is recognised for being lightweight,
flexible, high specific strength, high processability, anti-
erosion, increased conductivity, eco-friendly nature, and
recoverability. Its applications are further widened by the
preparation of alloys. Aluminium alloys are widely used
in the fields of electric module packaging, automotive
body structure, wind, and solar energy management. All
aluminium products belong to one of eight alloy series.
The Rare earth metals (RE) offer a possibility to
bond metal powders and their uses in metallic catalysts
are growing. Alloys containing large quantities of RE are
useful in high vacuum systems for removing H, CH and
Ar. And used in incendiary applications on account of
their superior pyrophoric properties. Addition of Res to
Al offers heat resistance and better ductility. Hence in
this project RE are experimentally added to the selected
Al alloy in calculated proportions to produce the metal
with extraordinary properties and contribute to the field
of add an appropriate use here.
