Aluminum alloy plate grades cover aluminum alloys from 2000 series to 7000 series, which has wide ranges and are widely used everywhere. Alloy aluminum plate is a common aluminum product, according to different alloy composition and use, there are many different grades.
The following are some common aluminum alloy plate grades and their characteristics:
2000 series:
Aluminum-copper alloys with copper as the main alloying element, such as 2011, 2014, 2017, 2024, etc. These aluminum alloy plates have high strength, good processing performance and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in aerospace, automotive, marine and other fields.
Series 3000:
Aluminum-manganese alloys with manganese as the main alloying element, such as 3003, 3004, 3105 and so on. These aluminum alloy plates have good formability, corrosion resistance, weldability and electrical conductivity, and are commonly used to make aluminum plates for construction, aluminum profiles, aluminum tubes and so on.
4000 series:
Aluminum-silicon alloys with silicon as the main alloying element, such as 4004, 4032, 4043, etc.. These aluminium alloy plates have excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high strength, commonly used in the production of automotive engine block, piston and other components.
5000 series:
Magnesium as the main alloying element of aluminum-magnesium alloy, such as 5052, 5083, 5086, etc.. These alloy aluminum plates have excellent corrosion resistance, weldability and formability, and are widely used in ships, automobiles, petrochemicals and other fields.
6000 Series:
Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements, such as 6061, 6063 and so on. These aluminum alloy plates have high strength, good processing performance and corrosion resistance, and are commonly used in the production of aluminum profiles for construction, rail transit vehicle structural components.
7000 series:
Aluminum-zinc alloy with zinc as the main alloying element, such as 7005, 7075, etc.. These aluminum alloy plates have high strength, good fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance, commonly used in the production of aircraft structural components, aerospace equipment.
It should be noted that the above is only a common aluminum alloy plate grades and its characteristics, in fact, there are more other grades of aluminum plate, its performance and use are also different. When selecting aluminum alloy plates, depending on the specific environment and requirements, we need to consider the key factors including strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, cost and the needs of specific applications. We need to consider key factors including strength, corrosion resistance, workability, cost and the needs of the specific application.
