The following is general information on the various aluminum alloys and grades, and their typical applications.

General Information of Aluminum Alloy sheet

Aluminum alloy sheet is a kind of industrial building materials, which can be used in various industries according to different materials. According to the surface treatment method, it can be divided into two categories: non painted products and painted products.

In general, the two broad categories of aluminum alloys are wrought alloys and casting alloys. Both of these groups are subdivided into heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable types. Around 85% of aluminum is used in wrought alloys. Cast alloys are relatively inexpensive to produce because of their low melting point, but they tend to have lower tensile strengths than their wrought counterparts.

List of Aluminum Alloy sheets:

  • 1xxx: Controlled unalloyed (pure) composition, used primarily in the electrical and chemical industries
  • 2xxx: Alloys in which copper is the principal alloying element, although other elements, notably magnesium, may be specified. 2xxxseries alloys are widely used in aircraft where their high strength (yield strengths as high as 455 MPa, or 66 ksi) is valued.
  • 3xxx: Alloys in which manganese is the principal alloying element, used as general-purpose alloys for architectural applications and various products
  • 4xxx: Alloys in which silicon is the principal alloying element, used in welding rods and brazing sheet
  • 5xxx: Alloys in which magnesium is the principal alloying element, used in boat hulls, gangplanks, and other products exposed to marine environments
  • 6xxx: Alloys in which magnesium and silicon are the principal alloying elements, commonly used for architectural extrusions and automotive components
  • 7xxx: Alloys in which zinc is the principal alloying element (although other elements, such as copper, magnesium, chromium, and zirconium, may be specified), used in aircraft structural components and other high-strength applications. The 7xxx series are the strongest aluminum alloys, with yield strengths ≥500 MPa (≥73 ksi) possible.
  • 8xxx: Alloys characterizing miscellaneous compositions. The 8xxx series alloys may contain appreciable amounts of tin, lithium, and/or iron.
  • 9xxx: Reserved for future use
