A brand name for an aluminum alloy, typically used in casting and manufacturing applications.
A proprietary term combining elements suggesting 'aluminum' and 'pax' (peace/Latin suffix), created as a trademark in the 20th century for commercial aluminum products.
Alpax represents how many industrial alloys got catchy brand names rather than technical names—much like 'kleenex' became synonymous with tissues, some manufacturers hoped their product name would become generic.
