Non-ferrous metals (metals that do not contain iron): refer to all metals and alloys that are not iron and iron alloys. Non-ferrous metals are classified into the following groups:
thyssenkrupp Materials Vietnam is the distributor of non-ferrous metals that are internationally standardized with high quality. We can meet our customers’ diverse demands of: Aluminum and Copper, different alloys including aluminum and copper alloys, Cupronickel, Beryllium copper...
Aluminum is the most abundant metal to be found in the earth's crust (8.1%), but is never found free in nature. In addition to the minerals mentioned above, it is also found in granite and in many other common minerals. The oxide, alumina, occurs naturally as ruby (Al2O3), sapphire, corundum, and emery.
However, today, most of our aluminum is an artificial mixture of sodium, aluminum, and calcium fluorides. Aluminum can now be produced from clay, but the process is not economically feasible at present.
Aluminum is a light and soft silvery-white metal. Aluminum, evaporated in a vacuum, forms a highly reflective coating for both visible light and radiant heat. These coatings soon form a thin layer of the protective oxide. Aluminum’s density (2.7g/cm3) is only about one-third of iron’s and copper’s density. Aluminum is second in malleability among metals (behind gold), sixth in ductility and has melting point of about 660oC. Aluminum is easy to be processed or welded since it is corrosion-resistant and sustainable with the protective oxide layer. Moreover, aluminum is nonmagnetic and non-sparking.
thyssenkrupp Materials Vietnam distributes aluminum with multiple options for our customers’ diverse demands:
Common types of aluminum
* MTC: Mill test certification
Aluminum alloys
Aluminum alloys are alloys of aluminum (Al) as the predominant metal and other elements such as copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. Pure aluminum is soft and lacks strength, but alloyed with small amounts of copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese, or other elements impart a variety of useful properties including being harder and more sustainable.
Aluminum alloys are suitable for different applications; some even regard them as the must used material such as airplane manufacturing and other aviation equipment.
Besides, Aluminum alloys are important in mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, mold manufacturing and construction.
A. Aluminum alloys Plate/Coil
* MTC: Mill test certification
B. Aluminum Alloy Bar/Tube/Profile
* MTC: Mill test certification
thyssenkrupp Materials Vietnam supply several types of Copper and Copper Alloys to meet our customer’s diverse demands.
Copper Alloys
Metal alloys that have copper as their principal component mixed with another element such as tin, lead, zinc, silver, gold, and antimony. The diversity of metals and metalloids created a diversified range of copper alloys (cupronickel, bronze, brass…). Nowadays, copper cobalt alloy is used to produce the material for giant magnetoresistance (GMR).
* MTC: Mill test certification
We also supply special custom-build products following customers’ orders.
B. Copper:
Copper (no less than 99.5% of copper) has good electrical and thermal conductivities, elongation; it is easy to process and corrosion-resistant. Copper is widely used in different application with these common types:
* MTC: Mill test certification
We also supply special copper for electrical impulses application in mold, chemical and sanitary equipment industries
C. Beryllium Copper
In addition to 4145 mod steel and Nickel alloy, thyssenkrupp Materials Vietnam also supplies Beryllium Copper alloys (Brush Alloy 25 and Toughmet®) in our line of special materials for petroleum industry. These two alloys are suitable materials for bearing, coupling, housing and actuator stems. These products provide drilling tools the accuracy and malleability, and better abilities to create, modify and perfect wells.
