The correct answer is: Y-alloy.
The aluminium alloy made by melting aluminium with 2 to 10% magnesium and 1.75% copper is commonly known as Y-alloy. This alloy is a type of wrought aluminium alloy that exhibits high strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
Here's a brief overview of the other options:
- Duralumin: A type of aluminium alloy that contains copper (around 4%) and manganese (around 0.5%), but not magnesium.
- Magnalium: A type of aluminium alloy that contains magnesium (around 5-6%), but not copper.
- Hindalium: Not a recognized aluminium alloy designation.
Y-alloy is often used in structural applications, such as aircraft parts, marine hardware, and transportation equipment, due to its excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability.
