The series of aluminum
1000 grade aluminum
1000 grade is pure aluminum plate
Advantages: good formability, surface treatment and corrosion resistance.
It is used for daily necessities, aluminum plates, lighting appliances, reflective plates, decorations, chemical industry containers, heat sinks, dissolved wiring and conductive materials.
2000 grade aluminum
2000 grade are aluminum plates with copper as the main alloy element. The content of copper can reach 2% – 5% or higher according to the specific application.
2000 grade aluminum alloy plate is also called aviation aluminum. It is not widely used for civil purposes and its cost is high. Currently it is almost replaced by 5052 in civil use.
3000 grade aluminum
3000 grade are aluminum plates with manganese as the main alloy element. The content of manganese is about 2-5%.
3000 grade aluminum plates have certain rust resistance and are widely used in humid environments such as air conditioners and refrigerators. The price has great advantages over other series.
4000 grade aluminum
4000 grade are aluminum plates with silicon as the main alloy element, which are not widely used at present.
5000 grade aluminum
5000 grade is the most commonly used aluminum alloy plate with magnesium as the main alloy element.
6000 grade aluminum
6000 grade is a combination of 4000 and 5000. The main alloy elements include silicon and magnesium, and the representative brand is 6061-T6 aluminum plate. It belongs to solid hot melt aluminum plate.
7000 grade aluminum
7000 grade is zinc magnesium alloy. Mainly in terms of hardness, the performance is very close to 2000 series. Not commonly used at present.
8000 grade aluminum
8000 grade is an aluminum plate with 8011 as the main representative and bottle cap is the main product, which is not commonly used.
