Aluminium / aluminum is a ductile, silverish white metal that is never found in its metallic form in nature. It occurs as bauxite, which is a mixture of aluminium oxides, iron oxides and clay.
Magnesium is a silvery-white metal used as an alloy element for aluminum, lead, zinc and other nonferrous alloys. Magnesium QH21A-T6 alloy is pressure tight, and has good castability, high yield strength up to 250°C and good creep resistance.
Aluminium / aluminum is a versatile light metallic element. The chemical symbol of this element is Al, and it belongs to the boron group. It is a widely used element due to its low density and excellent corrosion resistance.
Aluminium gallium arsenide AlxGa1-xAs) is a semiconductor material having almost the same lattice constant as gallium arsenide but a bigger bandgap.
Magnesium is among the most abundantly available elements in the earth’s crust. It has a silvery-white appearance and is commonly alloyed with aluminum, zinc, lead and other non-ferrous metals.
A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device that is used to convert toxic byproducts of combustion to less toxic substances by performing catalyzed chemical reactions. The reactions tend to vary depending on the type of catalyst installed. What materials are used in catalytic converters?

Machine lubricants deteriorate over time, thus forming acidic by-products that can corrode machine components. Hence, it is necessary to monitor the acidity level in the oil as it ages by measuring either the acid in the oil or the remaining alkalinity from additives in the oil.
Ferrography is an analytical technique that has been widely applied to understand the process of machine wear since the 1970s. Today, analytical ferrography is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in oil analysis.
Aluminium / aluminum is a silverish white metal that is very versatile and can be cast into any form known. Aluminium / aluminum can be combined with one of these elements - copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon and zinc, to form aluminium / aluminum alloys.
