You can work out the actual alloy designation number by determining the amount of metal is in each example. An alloy that is 91% aluminum and 9% gold (assuming pure aluminum and gold) would be an 8000 series aluminum alloy if wrought and 9000 series if cast. read more
Copper and aluminum can be combined to form a copper-aluminum alloy. An alloy is a mixture, and therefore does not have a chemical formula. However, under very high temperature, copper and aluminum can form a solid solution. When this solution cools, the intermetallic compound CuAl2, or copper aluminide, can form as a precipitate. read more
