DESCRIPTION
Silicon manganese (SiMn) is a common additive used in the production of aluminium alloys. It is used to increase the strength and durability of the alloy, and also to improve its resistance to corrosion.
SiMn is added to the aluminium melt during the production process, typically in small quantities ranging from 0.1% to 1% by weight. The exact amount will depend on the specific type of alloy being produced and the desired properties.
One of the main benefits of SiMn is its ability to form intermetallic compounds with aluminium, which can improve the alloy’s mechanical properties. These compounds also improve the alloy’s resistance to wear, fatigue, and creep.
SiMn also helps to promote the formation of a fine, uniform grain structure in the alloy, which can further improve its mechanical properties. This is especially important in high-stress applications, where the alloy will be subjected to repeated or prolonged loading.
