Aluminum and zinc sacrificial alloy

摘要

An improved aluminum base alloy which provides corrosion protection in fin stock applications includes 0.6-3.0% silicon; 0.2-1.0% by weight iron; up to 0.2% by weight copper; 0.8-2.0% by weight manganese; up to 0.2% by weight magnesium; from about 0.5% by weight zinc to 2.5% by weight zinc; up to 0.2% by weight other constituents; and the balance aluminum. The alloy is especially useful as a sacrificial alloy having improved mechanical strength.
