Classification and Application of Aluminum


Aluminum models are divided into: 1 series, 2 series, 3 series, 4 series, 5 series, 6 series, 7 series.

Aluminum Alloy Application:

1050 Extrusion coils for food, chemical and brewing industries, various hoses, fireworks powder.

1060 requires high corrosion resistance and formability, but does not require high strength. Chemical equipment is its typical use.

1100 is used for processing parts and components that require good formability and high corrosion resistance but do not require high strength, such as chemical products, food industry equipment and storage containers, sheet metal processing, deep drawing or spinning concave vessels, Welded parts, heat exchangers, printed boards, nameplates, reflectors.

2011 Screws and machined products requiring good cutting performance.

2014 For applications requiring high strength and hardness (including high temperature). Aircraft heavy duty, forgings, plate and extruded materials, wheels and structural elements, multi-stage rocket first stage fuel tanks and spacecraft parts, truck frames and suspension system parts.

2017 is the first 2XXX series alloy to obtain industrial application. The current application range is narrow, mainly for rivets, general mechanical parts, structural and transportation structural parts, propellers and accessories.

2A12 Aircraft skins, bulkheads, ribs, spars, rivets, etc., structural parts of buildings and vehicles.

2A14 Free forgings and die forgings with complex shapes.

2A16 Aerospace parts with a working temperature of 250~300℃, welding containers and airtight cockpits working at room temperature and high temperature.

3003 is used for processing parts and components that require good formability, high corrosion resistance and good weldability, or work that requires both these properties and higher strength than 1XXX series alloys, such as kitchenware, food and chemical product processing and storage devices, tanks and tanks for transporting liquid products, various pressure vessels and pipes processed with thin plates.

3004 all-aluminum pop-top can body requires parts with higher strength than 3003 alloy, chemical product production and storage devices, sheet metal processing parts, construction processing parts, construction tools, and various lighting components.

3105 Room dividers, baffles, movable room panels, gutters and downspouts, sheet metal forming parts, bottle caps, bottle stoppers, etc.

5457 Polished and anodized trim for automobiles and other equipment.

5652 Storage Containers for Hydrogen Peroxide and Other Chemical Products.

5657 Polished and anodized trim parts for automobiles and other equipment, but in any case it is necessary to ensure that the material has a fine grain structure.

5A05 Welded structural parts, aircraft skin skeleton.

5A06 Welded structure, cold forged parts, welded and drawn container stress parts, aircraft skin bone parts.

5A12 Welded Structural Parts, Bulletproof Deck.

6005 Extruded profiles and pipes are used for structural parts that require higher strength than 6063 alloy, such as ladders, TV antennas, etc.

6009 Automotive body panels.

6010 Sheet: Automotive body.

7075 is used in the manufacture of aircraft structures and futures. He requires high-stress structural parts and mold manufacturing with high strength and strong corrosion resistance.

The 7175 is used to forge high-strength structures for aircraft. T736 material has good comprehensive properties, that is, high strength, resistance to exfoliation corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, fracture toughness, and fatigue strength.

7178 Parts that require high compressive yield strength for the manufacture of aerospace vehicles.
