aluminium alloy
alloy in which aluminium is the predominant metal
Magnalium
Magnalium is an alloy of aluminium and magnesium.
Devarda's alloy
alloy of aluminium, copper and zinc
alumel
Alumel is an alloy consisting of approximately 95% nickel, 2% aluminium, 2% manganese, and 1% silicon. This magnetic alloy is used to make the negative conductors of ANSI Type K (chromel-alumel) thermocouples and thermocouple extension wire. Alumel is a registered trademark of Concept Alloys, Inc.
Al-Li
alloy of aluminium and lithium
Alclad
thumb|The ZMC-2 [[airship, the first aircraft to use Alclad in its construction]] Alclad is a corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet formed from high-purity aluminium surface layers metallurgically bonded (rolled onto) to high-strength aluminium alloy core material. It has a melting point of about . Alclad is a trademark of Alcoa but the term is also used generically.
6061 aluminium alloy
precipitation hardening aluminium alloy
Alusil
Alusil as a hypereutectic aluminium-silicon alloy (EN AC-AlSi17Cu4Mg / EN AC-48100 or A390) contains approximately 78% aluminium and 17% silicon. This alloy was theoretically conceived in 1927 by Schweizer & Fehrenbach, of Badener Metall-Waren-Fabrik, but practically created only by Lancia in the same year, for its car engines. It was further developed by Reynolds, now Rheinmetall Automotive. In the United States, Chevrolet was the first to use Reynolds A390 in the Chevrolet Vega.

alloy
Magnox
aluminium-magnesium alloy used for fuel cladding in Magnox type reactors
Alperm
Alperm (also alfenol or alfer) is a class of alloys comprising 83-90% of iron and 10-17% of aluminium. The most widely used composition is with 16% Al.
