Comparison of Different Aluminum Alloy Sheets
| Alloy Series | Main Components | Key Characteristics | Ideal Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1xxx Series (e.g., 1060) | Pure Al (≥99.6%) | Excellent electrical/thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, but low strength. | Conductive materials, heat sinks, packaging, reflectors. |
| 3xxx Series (e.g., 3003) | Al-Mn (1.0% Mn) | Superior weather resistance, good weldability, 15%~20% higher strength than pure Al. | Building curtain walls, roof panels, marine interiors. |
| 5xxx Series (e.g., 5052) | Al-Mg (2.5% Mg) | Excellent seawater corrosion resistance, high plasticity, stable toughness at low temperatures. | Marine engineering, pressure vessels, shipbuilding. |
| 6xxx Series (e.g., 6061) | Al-Mg-Si (1.0% Mg+0.6% Si) | Balanced performance, high strength (heat-treatable), good machinability and weldability. | Construction frames, automotive parts, aerospace structures. |
| 7xxx Series (e.g., 7075) | Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (5.6% Zn) | Highest strength (super-hard alloy), but poor corrosion resistance (requires surface treatment). | Aerospace components, high-end molds, racing parts. |
Mechanical Property Comparison (Typical Values)
| Property | 1100-H14 | 3003-H14 | 5052-H32 | 6061-T6 |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 110-145 | 145-195 | 215-260 | 290-325 |
