Uses of aluminium and aluminium alloys

More common brands: 1060, 2024, 5052, 6061, 6063, 7075.
1060:1060 is a common industrial pure aluminum, containing no less than 99.60% aluminum, which is characterized by low strength, work hardening is the only way to strengthen. Good thermal and cold processing performance, high thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industrial equipment requiring good formability, corrosion resistance and weldability, and can also be used as an electrical conductor material.
2024: The composition and structure of 2024 alloy is the same as that of 2A12 alloy, only the content limit of impurities Fe and Si in 2124 alloy is lower. 2024 alloy sheets, slabs and profiles have been successfully used to manufacture skins, compartments, integral fuel tank panels, fins, etc., for aircraft and rockets.
The magnesium content of 5052:5052 alloy is 2.5%, which is the lower magnesium content in the aluminum-magnesium anti-rust aluminum. It is widely used in the manufacture of fuel and fuel pipes and fuel tanks for aircraft, parts in various ships and transport vehicles, sheet metal products, meters, street lamp brackets, rivets and wires.
6061:6061 alloy is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy of Al-Mg-Si series, which can be processed into plates, tubes, rods, molds, wires and forgings. Widely used in building profiles, large structural parts requiring good corrosion resistance, truck, ship, railway vehicle structural parts, conduit, home and so on.
6063:6063 alloy is Al-Mg-Si series of heat-treatable aluminum alloy, which can be extruded into bars, profiles and pipes. Widely used in building structural materials and decorative materials, such as door frames, window frames, siding, containers, furniture, lifts, and aircraft, ships, light industry, buildings and other decorative components of different colors.
7075:7075 alloy is Al-Zn-Mg-Cu superhard aluminum, which is characterized by good plasticity after solid solution treatment and obvious heat treatment strengthening. It can be processed into sheets (aluminum-covered and non-aluminum-covered), tubes, profiles, bars and forgings. Mainly used for aircraft structural parts and other high-strength corrosion resistant structural parts.
