Understand About Aluminium

Aluminum is categorized into various grades base on it alloy composition and properties. Each grade is designed for specific applications. Here are an overview :

1

1000 SERIES (PURE ALUMINUM – 99% OR HIGHER)

Applications: Electrical and chemical applications due to high conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and workability.
Example: Electrical cables, heat exchangers, and chemical tanks.

2

2000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-COPPER ALLOYS)

Applications: Aerospace components where high strength is required but with a reduced need for corrosion resistance.
Example: Aircraft structures, truck wheels.

3

3000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-MANGANESE ALLOYS)

Applications: General-purpose applications where moderate strength and good corrosion resistance are necessary.
Example: Beverage cans, roofing sheets, heat exchangers.

4

4000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-SILICON ALLOYS)

Applications: Automotive industry for its excellent wear resistance and lower melting point.
Example: Automotive engine components, welding wire.

5

5000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-MAGNESIUM ALLOYS)

Applications: Marine and automotive industries due to its high corrosion resistance in marine environments and good weldability.
Example: Marine structures, pressure vessels and pipelines.

6

6000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-MAGNESIUM-SILICON ALLOYS)

Applications: General-purpose applications with a need for medium strength and good corrosion resistance.
Example: Structural components, bridges, railings, and truck frames.

7

7000 SERIES (ALUMINUM-ZINC ALLOYS)

Applications: High-performance applications like aerospace and sporting equipment, where high strength is crucial.
Example: Aircraft, aerospace components, bike frames, and climbing equipment.

8

8000 SERIES (MISCELLANEOUS ALLOYS)

Applications: Specialized applications with unique property requirements.
Example: Aluminum foil for packaging, electrical cables.

Each aluminum grade offers a balance between strength, corrosion resistance, workability, and other properties, making it suitable for specific applications.
