Aluminum strip/coils 1000series, 3000series, 5000series, 6000series

1000 series
The 1000 series aluminum plate is also called pure aluminum plate. Among all series, the 1000 series belongs to the series with the largest aluminum content. The purity can reach more than 99.00%. Since it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is currently the most commonly used series in conventional industries. Most of the ones circulating in the market are 1050 and 1060 series. The minimum aluminum content of the 1000 series aluminum plate is determined based on the last two Arabic numerals of the series. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50. According to the international brand naming principles, the aluminum content must reach more than 99.5% to be a qualified product. my country's aluminum alloy technical standards (gB/T3880-2006) also clearly stipulate that the aluminum content of 1050 reaches 99.5%. For the same reason, the aluminum content of 1060 series aluminum plates must reach more than 99.6%.
2000 series aluminum plate
Representing 2A16 (LY16) 2A06 (LY6) 2000 series aluminum plates are characterized by high hardness, of which copper has the highest content, about 3-5%. 2000 series aluminum plates are aviation aluminum materials and are not commonly used in conventional industries. There are few manufacturers producing 2000 series aluminum plates in my country. The quality cannot be compared with foreign countries. Imported aluminum plates are mainly provided by Korean and German manufacturers. With the development of my country's aerospace industry, the production technology of 2000 series aluminum plates will be further improved.
3000 series aluminum plate
Mainly representing 3003 3003 3A21. It can also be called rust-proof aluminum plate. my country's 3000 series aluminum plate production technology is relatively excellent. 3000 series aluminum plates are mainly composed of manganese. The content is between 1.0-1.5. It is a series with better anti-rust function. It is commonly used in humid environments such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and car bottoms. The price is higher than the 1000 series, and it is a more commonly used alloy series.
4000 series aluminum plate
The aluminum plate represented by the 4A01 4000 series belongs to the series with higher silicon content. Usually the silicon content is between 4.5-6.0%. Belongs to construction materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, and welding materials; has low melting point and good corrosion resistance. Product Description: It has the characteristics of heat resistance and wear resistance.
5000 series
Represents 5052.5005.5083.5A05 series. The 5000 series aluminum plate belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminum plate series. The main element is magnesium, and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. It can also be called aluminum-magnesium alloy. The main features are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. The weight of aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than other series under the same area. Therefore, it is often used in aviation, such as aircraft fuel tanks. It is also widely used in conventional industries. The processing technology is continuous casting and rolling, and it belongs to the hot-rolled aluminum plate series, so it can be used for deep oxidation processing. In my country, the 5000 series aluminum plate is one of the more mature aluminum plate series.
6000 series
Representing 6061, it mainly contains two elements: magnesium and silicon, so it combines the advantages of the 4000 series and the 5000 series. 6061 is a cold-processed aluminum forged product, suitable for applications that require high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Good workability, excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, and good processability. Can be used on low voltage weapons and aircraft joints.
General features of 6061: excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, high strength, good workability, and strong corrosion resistance.
Typical uses of 6061 aluminum: aircraft parts, camera parts, couplers, ship accessories and hardware, electronic accessories and connectors, decorative or various hardware, hinge heads, magnetic heads, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, electrical accessories, valves and valve parts .
7000 series
Representative 7075 mainly contains zinc. It also belongs to the aviation series. It is an aluminum-magnesium-zinc-copper alloy. It is a heat-treatable alloy. It is a super-hard aluminum alloy and has good wear resistance. The 7075 aluminum plate is stress-relieved and will not deform or warp after processing. All oversized super All thick 7075 aluminum plates have been ultrasonically detected to ensure there are no blisters or impurities. The 7075 aluminum plates have high thermal conductivity, which can shorten molding time and improve work efficiency. The main feature is its high hardness. 7075 is a high-hardness, high-strength aluminum alloy that is often used in manufacturing aircraft structures and futures. It requires high-stress structural parts and mold manufacturing with high strength and strong corrosion resistance. Basically relying on imports, my country's production technology still needs to be improved. (A foreign company in this company once pointed out that domestically produced 7075 aluminum plates are unevenly annealed, resulting in inconsistent surface and internal hardness of the aluminum plates)
8000 series
The more commonly used ones are 8011 which belongs to other series. In my memory, the aluminum plate is mainly used for making bottle caps. It is also used in radiators, and most of them are aluminum foil. Not commonly used.
9000 series
It belongs to the spare series, and the technology is so advanced. In order to cope with the emergence of aluminum plates containing other alloy elements, the International Aluminum Plate and Strip Federation specifically stated that the 9000 series is a spare series, waiting for another new variety to appear to fill the gap of the 9000 series.
