In the processing of aluminum alloy, we often see similar material codes such as AW5083-R or AL6061. In fact, this is the grade of aluminum alloy. Different grades contain different chemical components, and there are also differences in performance. Several common aluminum alloys are as follows.


AL1 series pure aluminum:Series 1 pure aluminum, containing more than 99% aluminum. Such as 1050, its aluminum content is 99.5%. The production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in conventional industries.

AL-Cu2 series aluminum copper alloy:2 series aluminum alloy represents 2024. This series of aluminum plates is characterized by high hardness and good machinability, but poor corrosion resistance.

AL-Mn3 series aluminum manganese alloy:The 3 series aluminum alloys are mainly represented by 3003 and 3A21. With manganese as the main component, the content is between 1.0-1.5. It is a series with better anti-rust function, and it is used for parts that require good formability, high corrosion resistance, and weldability.

AL-Mg5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy:5 series aluminum alloys represent 5052, 5083, 5A06. It belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminum plate series, the main element is magnesium, and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. The main features are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation, but it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.

AL-Mg-Si6 series aluminum magnesium silicon alloy:The 6 series of aluminum alloys represent 6061, 6063, and 6082, which mainly contain magnesium and silicon. It belongs to the alloy that can be strengthened by heat treatment. It has good formability, weldability, and medium strength. It can still maintain good operability after annealing. It is suitable for parts with high requirements on corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

AL-Zn7 series aluminum-zinc alloy:The 7 series aluminum alloy represents that 7075 mainly contains zinc. Among the series, the 7075-T651 aluminum alloy is particularly top-grade, known as the best product among aluminum alloys, with high strength, far superior to any mild steel. And has good mechanical properties and anodic reaction.
