Aluminium Casting

How often do you replace your car's air filter? Every 10 thousand miles? 12K? 15K? During the life of your car - assuming you plan on keeping your vehicle for many years - you could easily go through 8, 10, even 15 or more air filters. Of course, that is if you choose to purchase disposable air filters every time your shop. However, did you know that you now have another choice, in a reusable air filter, which costs a bit more but will likely outlast your car? Read on for an informative comparison of the two types of air filters available for your vehicle.

If you maintain your own vehicle, you probably make regular trips to your auto parts store for oil, filters, wipers, and the occasional air filter. Concerning your air filter, your choices include Fram, ACDelco, Bosch, and Purolator air filters, all very well known and trusted brands. You are not likely to pay a whole lot for one, perhaps between $6 and $15, depending on your vehicle make, model, model year, and engine. For many people purchasing an air filter once a year is a simple procedure: see which one is on sale, buy it, toss the old one, and insert the new one.

Consumers are now discovering an additional option to disposable air filters, one that race car owners have known about for ages: reusable air filters. That's right, instead of paper air filters that must be changed regularly and can contribute to overflowing landfills, drivers can now purchase reusable air filters made of cotton gauze and aluminum wire mesh. These higher air flow filters provide excellent filtration and are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration. K&N, for example, sells a line of air filters that are warranted to last one million miles, can be cleaned as little as once every 50 thousand miles, and are emissions legal in all fifty US states. Prices for reusable air filters range from as little as $30 to approximately $60 or more.

Besides the obvious environmental and performance benefits, a reusable air filter will save you a lot of money in the long run. For the owner of a car who keeps his vehicle for 150 thousand miles - not uncommon these days - he could easily replace his filter twelve times during the life of the car. If he pays $12 per air filter - an average price - his expenditure is $144 for the life of the car. A $50 reusable air filter is a one shot charge and can be recouped within the first few years of owning the car.

Today, you have real choices when it comes to selecting an air filter for your car. Purchasing a reusable air filter is an environmentally responsible, cost effective, and power enhancing decision that you will never regret.

Aluminium Alloy $71.7 Aluminium alloys are alloys in which aluminium is the predominant metal. Typical alloying elements are copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, and magnesium. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further subdivided into the categories heattreatable and nonheattreatable. About 85 of aluminium is used for wrought products, for example rolled plate, foils and extrusions. Cast aluminium alloys yield cost effective products due to the low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strengths than wrought alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is AlSi, where the high levels of silicon (413) contribute to give good casting characteristics. Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required.

Casting $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods.

Recrystallization Study of Aluminium Sheets $103.56 The necessity of reducing production costs makes continuous casting more advantageous than plates process, however, the application of products obtained through continuous casting is limited by microstructural conditions. When continuous casting material follows a conventional process of hotrolled plates, with intermediate annealing and hardness achieved by predefined reductions, the result is a plate with superficial appearance and performance in drawing harmed by coarse graining. To optimize the process, it is necessary to improve the knowledge of the phenomena of cold working, recovery, recrystallization and grain growth in addition to relating them to industrial processes. In this book, these issues were discussed and with the evolution of mechanical properties according to temperature, it was possible to determine the optimal range of heat treatment to obtain the desired hardness.
