> The 1000 series, unalloyed aluminium
When the alloy contains at least 99.00% aluminium, it is generally designated pure aluminium. These alloys have low strength, excellent malleability and conductivity, and good corrosion properties. Typical applications include packaging, cooking pans and electrical cables.
2000-serien, Cu-legeringar
2000 series, Cu alloys
Aluminium gets its strength by adding different alloy elements. Adding copper produces a material with very high strength, but the drawback is that it has relatively poor welding and corrosion properties. Typical applications are in aircraft, machine parts, bolts and rivets.
5000-serien, Mg-legeringar
5000 series, Mg alloys
Adding magnesium helps to increase the material’s strength. Good corrosion resistance. Alloys with more than 3% magnesium are sometimes designated seawater-resistant aluminium. The 5000 series is a typical sheet metal alloy used in construction and shipbuilding.
6000-serien, Mg-Si-legeringar
6000 series, Mg-Si alloys
Adding both magnesium and silicon gives a hardenable alloy that’s ideal for extrusion. These alloys have good properties as regards weldability, corrosion resistance, milling and electrical conductivity.
The strength can also be relatively high. The alloy is well suited to anodising and is often used for decorative objects.
The 6000 series is the most common alloy for aluminium profiles, and it has a wide range of applications.
7000-serien, Zn-legeringar
7000 series, Zn-Si alloys
These are very strong alloys. Adding zinc and manganese achieves not only strength, but also good corrosion and welding properties. These alloys can be hardened and are among the strongest. Typical applications are welded constructions that are exposed to heavy mechanical strain. Automotive, aerospace and defence are some of the sectors that use this type of alloy.
