Aluminum is
one of the most adaptable, cost-effective, and visually appealing metallic
materials available for a variety of applications, from soft, highly ductile
wrapping foil to the most rigorous engineering ones. Furthermore, this is due
to the special combinations of properties that aluminum as well as its alloys
offers. Moreover, the only other metal used as a structural material after
steel is aluminum alloys. Just 2.7 g/cm3 is what aluminum is made of
about a third as much as steel (7.83 g/cm3). Aluminum weighs just
around 170 lb per cubic foot, compared to approximately 490 lb for one cubic
foot of steel. In a similar manner, coupled with the high strength of some
aluminum alloys (exceeding that of structural steel), permits design as well as
construction of strong, lightweight structures that are especially advantageous
for anything that moves space vehicles also, aircraft as well as all types of
land- as well as water-borne vehicles. Aluminum is resistant to the type of
gradual oxidation that makes steel rust. An inert aluminum oxide coating,
barely a few ten-millionths of an inch thick, is created when oxygen reacts
with the exposed aluminum surface to prevent further oxidation. Moreover,
unlike iron rust, the aluminum oxide coating does not flake off to reveal a new
surface to oxidation. Immediately after being scratched, the aluminum's
protective covering will close back up. The metal is strongly adhered to a thin
layer of colorless, transparent oxide that is undetectable to the naked eye as
well as adheres to the metal tightly. Aluminum does not rust, which results in
the discoloration also, flaking that happens to iron as well as steel. Aluminum
can withstand corrosion from a variety of chemical and physical agents as well
as from water, salt, and other environmental variables when alloyed as well as
handled properly. The section "Effects of Alloying on Corrosion"
examines the corrosion properties of aluminum alloys. This research article
will compile publications that have dealt with aluminum and aluminum alloys in
the previous ten years (2017–2023) from the electronic database. Moreover, this
systematic mapping study will move forward on collecting related articles
(papers, research papers, thesis, conference papers etc.). Furthermore, this research
also, will collect important information about Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
practices and usage and put the collected information in a CSV file then
visualized the results by using three different algorithms which are the
K-Means algorithm, Canpoy algorithm, and the Hierarchical algorithm and
visualize the results by using WEKA application. This research is also,
beneficial for mechanical engineering experimental area, students who are
interested on such kind of areas and researchers, also this systematic mapping
study is beneficial for manufacturing companies who pay attention about the
experimental usage of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys in their line of production
to make time to market. This systematic mapping aims to explore the various
practices, benefits, and outcome performance of different aluminum and aluminum
alloys through the use of the Weka application. Aluminum and its alloys are
widely used in various industries due to their lightweight, corrosion
resistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. The Weka application, a popular
machine learning tool, can provide insights into the relationships between
different aluminum alloys, their properties, and performance outcomes. By
mapping the existing literature, this study aims to provide a comprehensive
overview of the current practices and benefits of utilizing aluminum and its
alloys in different applications, as well as the performance outcomes achieved
by using the Weka application.
