Alloy Series | Typical Alloy | Introduction |
1000 Series | 1050 1060 1070 1100 | Industrial Pure Aluminium. In all series, 1000 series belongs to the series with the largest aluminium content. The purity can reach over 99.00%. |
2000 Series | 2024(2A12), LY12, LY11, 2A11, 2A14(LD10), 2017, 2A17 | Aluminium-copper Alloys. 2000 series is characterized by high hardness, in which the content of copper is the highest, about 3-5%. |
3000 Series | 3A21, 3003, 3103, 3004, 3005, 3105 | Aluminium-manganese Alloys. 3000 series aluminium sheet is mainly composed of manganese. The manganese content ranges from 1.0% to 1.5%. It is a series with better rust-proof function. |
4000 Series | 4A03, 4A11, 4A13, 4A17, 4004, 4032, 4043, 4043A, 4047, 4047A | Al-Si Alloys. Usually, the silicon content is between 4.5 and 6.0%. It belongs to building materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, welding materials, low melting point, good corrosion resistance. |
5000 Series | 5052, 5083, 5754, 5005, 5086,5182 | Al-Mg Alloys. 5000 series aluminium alloy belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminium series, the main element is magnesium, the magnesium content is between 3-5%. The main characteristics are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. |
6000 Series | 6063, 6061, 6060, 6351, 6070, 6181, 6082, 6A02 | Aluminium Magnesium Silicon Alloys. The representative 6061 mainly contains magnesium and silicon, so it concentrates the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 Series. 6061 is a cold-treated aluminium forging product, which is suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. |
7000 Series | 7075, 7A04, 7A09, 7A52, 7A05 | Aluminium, Zinc, Magnesium and Copper Alloys. The representative 7075 mainly contains zinc. It is heat-treatable alloy, belongs to super-hard aluminium alloy, and has good wear resistance. 7075 aluminium plate is stress-relieved and will not deform or warp after processing. |
