Aluminum Alloy
Aluminum is one of the most widespread elements found on earth, and one of the most popular in metalwork. The following article will cover the different grades of aluminium available, their physical and mechanical properties, and some of their most common uses.
Aluminum alloy is created by mixing two or more types of metal to offer more desirable features such as greater strength or a higher melting temperature. Different grades of aluminum have different properties, and each has specific applications and uses. They are identified using four-digit numbers with the first number denoting the series of grade, indicating the primary alloying element.
Aluminum Grade:
Series 1000 / 1050 – Pure Aluminum
Series 2000 / 2024 – Copper Alloy
Series 3000 / 3003 – Manganese Alloy
Series 5000 / 5086 – Magnesium Alloy
Series 6000 / 6005 / 6061 / 6063 /6082 – Magnesium and Silicon Alloys
Series 7000 / 7075 – Zinc Alloys
Profiles: Bar / Coil / Corrugated / Extrusion / Perforated / Sheet / Strip
Processes: Checker Plate / Corrugated / Perforated / Stucco Embossed
Aluminum Coil / Sheet / Strip
Finish: Mill Finish
Grade: AA 3003 / AA 5052 / AA 5083 / AA 6061
Temper: 0 / H12 / H14 / H16 / H18 / H19 / H22 / H24 / H26 / H32 / H34 / H36 / H38 / H39
Specification: 0.2mm – 6.0mm * Width: 12.0mm – 2400mm * Coil
Aluminum Corrugated Sheets
Finish: Mills Finish / Stucco Embossed / Kraft paper / lamination
Aluminum sheets could be widely applied to roofing and facade, as well as corrosion prevention and installation for tunnels and cans.
Stucco Embossed composited with craft paper or lamination could be more effective in corrosion prevention and thus could be used in petroleum, electric power, chemical industry and stadium construction.
