Aluminum Alloys

Aluminum is widely acknowledged as one of the most versatile materials available today. Due mainly to a unique combination of characteristics, there is an aluminum alloy to fit almost any application imaginable. It is a silver-white metallic element, light in weight, ductile, malleable, and not readily corroded or tarnished.

One of aluminum’s most appealing properties is a high resistance to corrosion due to the natural oxide film that forms when it is exposed to air. Some aluminum alloys are stronger than structural steel, yet all the alloys are light in weight.

Aluminum is nontoxic, which allows it to have direct contact with food products without harmful effects on the body. Because of this characteristic, it is widely used to make cooking utensils, and is very prevalent in equipment for food processing industries.

Aluminum is one of two common metals having an electrical conductivity high enough for use as electrical conductors. High thermal conductivity is another feature that promotes widespread use in cooking utensils and heat exchangers. Another very important asset of aluminum is the ease with which it can be fabricated, machined, and joined by almost any method.

While for most applications aluminum needs no protective coating, it accepts a wide assortment of surface finishes and is an excellent base for producing painted sheet.

Aluminum alloys are categorized into Non-Heat Treatable Alloys and Heat Treatable Alloys. The strength of non-heat treatable alloys primarily relies on elements like manganese, magnesium, silicon, and iron, either individually or combined, for hardening effects. Cold working is the only way to further enhance their strength. Heat treatable alloys, on the other hand, achieve initial strength through the addition of elements like copper, zinc, silicon, and magnesium, either individually or combined. These alloys can be further strengthened through appropriate thermal treatments.

Below you will learn about the different aluminum alloys we stock in our eCommerce store.

chemical Properties

This table contains the chemical composition limits of wrought aluminum alloys in percent by weight maximum unless shown as a range or minimum. Except for “aluminum” and “others, ” analysis normally is made for elements for which specific limits are shown. For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis is rounded off to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with ASTM Recommended Practice E29.

  1. Ratings A through E are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit, based on exposures to sodium chloride solution by intermittent spraying or immersion. Alloys with A and B ratings can be used in industrial and seacoast atmospheres without protection. Alloys with C, D, and E ratings generally should be protected at least on faying surfaces
  2. Stress corrosion cracking ratings are based on service experience and on laboratory tests of specimens exposed to the 3.5% sodium chloride alternate immersion test and are expressed as follows:
    • A = No known instance of failure in service or in laboratory tests.
    • B = No known instance of failure in service; limited failures in laboratory tests of short transverse specimens.
    • C = Service failures with sustained tension stress acting in short transverse direction relative to grain structure; limited failures in laboratory tests of long transverse specimens.
    • D = limited service failures with sustained longitudinal or long transverse stress.
  3. This rating may be different for material held at elevated temperature for long periods
  4. Ratings A through D for Workability (cold), and A through E for Machinability, are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit.
  5. Ratings A through D for Weldability and Brazeability are relative ratings defined as follows:
    • A = Generally weldable by all commercial procedures and methods.
    • B = Weldable with special techniques or for specific applications which justify preliminary trials or testing to develop welding procedure and weld performance.
    • C = Limited Weldability because of crack sensitivity or loss in resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties.
    • D = No commonly used welding methods have been developed.
