Aluminum Series introduction

 

Aluminum alloy is composed of aluminum and other alloy elements such as copper, magnesium, zinc, silicon, etc. Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, good electrical conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance. According to the proportion of different alloy elements, it is divided into 8 series aluminum alloys

 

1 series
2 series
3 series
4 series

 

5 series
6 series
7 series
8 series

 

 

 
The influence of alloying elements on the properties of aluminum alloys

 

Alloying element Content% Compound morphology Alloy performance
Mg 0.8-1.3 Mg2Si,Al3Mg2 Enables alloys to be strengthened by heat treatment
Cu 1.0-5.0 CuAl2 Improve alloy strength
Ti 0.1-0.3 Al3Ti Improving mechanical properties
Mn 1.0-1.5 Al10Mn2Si Strengthening corrosion resistance
Zr 0.1-0.4 Al3Zr Grain refinement
Co 0.5-1.0 Al9Co2 Improve heat resistance

 

 
8 Series Aluminum alloy indruction and application

 

Series Main alloying elements Alloy Property Application
1 series -- Good electrical conductivity,
Good corrosion resistance, Good welding performance,
Low strength,
Cheap price
Mainly used for scientific experiments,
chemical industry and special purposes.
2 series Cu Easy to process,
High temperature resistance
Used in industries with higher operating temperatures
3 series Mn Low strength,
Good corrosion resistance,
Good welding performance, and Good plasticity
Used for construction metal roofs,
aircraft oil seamless pipes, cans, etc
4 series Si Low melting point,
Good melt fluidity
Easy shrinkage
Used for manufacturing aluminum alloy welding,
such as brazing plates, welding rods, and welding wires.
5 series Mg High tensile strength,
high elongation, and good welding performance

Used for lightweight design and manufacturing
6 series Mg,Si Medium strength,
Good corrosion resistance,
Good welding performance,
Good process performance,
Good oxidation coloring performance
Used for the doors, windows,
heat sinks, compartment shells of car etc
7 series Zn High hardness
Good welding performance
Used for load-bearing components
and landing gears of aircraft,
rockets, propellers, and spacecraft
8 series Other -- Used for air conditioning aluminum foil
