Reasons why Aluminium alloy is not used for plastic extruder barrel material ?
(OP)
I wondered why aluminium alloy is not used for plastic extruder barrel material ?
Is it mainly because of the galling resistance of aluminium alloy ?
What is the other factors that aluminium alloy is not suitable for plastic extruder barrel?
Also i'm planning to use aluminium silicon alloy grade that is used for car engine block which i heard is the most galling resistant grade of all aluminium alloys.

RE: Reasons why Aluminium alloy is not used for plastic extruder barrel material ?
Aluminum isn't used because it isn't the best material for the function.
That should not prevent you from placing an order with an extruder screw company and telling them it needs to be some alloy of aluminum. I'm sure any extruder screw company will be happy to take your money to make one. When they deliver it they will block you telephone number because they don't want you asking why it snapped in half when you used such a weak material. More than likely - they will block your number as soon as you say "aluminum."

Also i wanted to know what is the main disadvantages other than galling and how many disadvantages point list?

You seem to be obsessed with galling; you should be looking to see what other materials are actually being used and compare their material properties, or better yet, READ the literature and advertising

Low wear resistance is a issue with any filled polymer causing excessive erosion.
Limited strength at elevated temperatures may require design changes.
Plenty of other negatives beyond galling resistance.

And it's obvious because it makes no mention galling issues of all of the materials recommend (well silicon carbide has other issues than galling).
We have created an artificial politician.... yay.
