The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.
These sheets and bars are precision ground either on all six sides or just on the top and bottom.
An anodized coating bonds to the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.
One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish.
More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.
3000 series aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, garage doors, and general sheet metal work.
A honeycomb core is bonded between two aluminum sheets for rigidity.
These sheets are tempered to a 1/2-hard or full-hard state to make them over twice as strong as standard 1100 aluminum.
Made of 1000 series aluminum which is 99% pure, this aluminum offers superior formability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. It's frequently fabricated into raceways, decorative trim, and other parts where strength and hardness are not required.
5086 aluminum is used on ships, oil rigs, tanks, and pressure vessels because of its excellent saltwater resistance and formability.
Known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld, 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water. It's widely used for the bodies of boats, buses, trucks, and trailers, as well as for chemical drums.
Highly corrosion resistant, 5083 is largely used around salt water for building ships and oil rigs. It maintains its strength in extreme cold, so it's also used to make cryogenic pressure vessels and tanks.
Stronger than other marine-grade aluminum, 5456 is often used for pressure vessels and storage tanks in saltwater environments.
While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.
These sheets are clad in 1230 aluminum for an added layer of corrosion resistance.
Originally developed for aircraft frames, uses for 7075 aluminum now include keys, gears, and other high-stress parts. It is often used as a replacement for 2024 aluminum because it’s stronger and provides similar performance in all other aspects.
