For Al, try the aluminium alloy manufacturers websites like Alcoa and Constellium or whatever they are called this week. It will be a plate alloy or perhaps in some circumstances an extrusion. I would have thought the Al alloy manufactures would be pleased to gain as much publicity as possible from their materials being used in consumer products. But then again we are talking about companies that let composites eat their lunch in aerospace, and have failed spectacularly to get Al into automotive structures.

Hi all,
sorry for double-posting, but the "discussion topic" doesn't seem to get enough attention. We have recently started to work with Al single crystals for surface science experiments. Unfortunately, after a few cleaning cycles the crystal surface gets cloudy or "milky". Our typical cleaning cycle involves 1 kV Ar sputtering (ion current around 3-5 uA) x 30-60 min followed by annealing to 600-700 K (time varies, but typically not less than 15 min with somewhat fast ramping up and down, but no quenching). A high resolution XPS does not show any considerable amount of adsorbates or anything unusual whatsoever (some traces of oxygen which were there even for the mirror-like surface, some traces of carbon). Therefore, I suspect the crystal experienced some faceting/graining of the surface which resulted in that the surface has become mesoscopically rough. LEED spots have possibly become somewhat broader but this is really hard to estimate. Unfortunately, we had no time to perform AFM measurements on this surface. But it looks indeed as an annealing protocol is vitally important to keep the surface nice and well-defined. Therefore, I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same problem with Al (or maybe other crystals, too?) and/or knows how to overcome this issue? Maybe someone could share an annealing protocol or give a link to such a protocol if published? Tips and tricks? All meaningful opinions are welcome!
