WWII ALUMINIUM COMPOSITION
Dear all
I am looking for the composition of aluminium on German aircraft, during WWII, similar to the attachment (US Aluminium), but for German produced aluminium. Thanks for your assistance . GC Last edited by gilles collaveri; 10th December 2018 at 22:36. |

Re: WWII ALUMINIUM COMPOSITION
If bauxite is the mineral used for producing aluminum, then nearly all of this was mined in Dalmatia and Herzegovina during the war plus a little from Serbia. The Organisation Todt oversaw the mining operation.

Re: WWII ALUMINIUM COMPOSITION
Hello Gilles
Since copper was in short supply in Germany, a lot of metalurgic research was done to find an acceptable or better substitute to duralumin, to be used in structural parts. The result was a family of aluminium - zinc - magnesium alloys, plus stabilizers. These alloys were however only used toward the end of the war. Another alloy often used was the Elektron (aluminium-magnesium) for molded parts. Bonne journée ! J Schreiber |
