The distinction between aluminum plates and aluminum alloy plates

The distinction between aluminum plates and aluminum alloy plates

 

Aluminum plate is pure aluminum plate, which is 1 series, such as 1060 belongs to 1 series. Alloy aluminum plates can be roughly divided into 7 series, namely 2-8 series. For example, 2A21 belongs to the 2 series, 3003 belongs to the 3 series, 5052 belongs to the 5 series, and so on.

 

The 1000 series is pure aluminum plate, such as 1060. The main component of this type of aluminum plate is aluminum. Reaching more than 99%.

 

The 2000 series is an aluminum plate with copper as the main alloying element. The copper content can reach 2%-5% or higher depending on the specific application. The hardness of the 2000 series relative to other grades In aerospace, the aluminum alloy plate of the 2000 series is also known as aviation aluminum. Due to the lack of extensive civilian use, there are currently fewer factories producing 2000 series alloy aluminum plates. Similarly, the price of aluminum plates in the 2000 series is relatively high. At present, the 5052 series has basically replaced the 2000 series in terms of civilian use.

 

The 3000 series is an aluminum plate with manganese as the main alloying element. The content of manganese is between 2-5%. The representative varieties of the 3000 series include 3003 aluminum sheet and 3A21 aluminum plate. The main thing is that the aluminum plate of the 3000 series has a certain anti-rust performance and is widely used in humid environments such as air conditioners and refrigerators. The price is a great advantage over other alloy plates.

 

The 4000 series is an aluminum plate with manganese as the main alloying element. It is not widely used at present.

The 5000 series is a representative series of alloy aluminum plates. There are mainly 5052 5083 and other grades. It is the most commonly used aluminum alloy plate in our country and the world.

The 6000 series is a combination of 4000 and 5000, with the main alloying elements including silicon and magnesium, and the representative grade is 6061-T6 aluminum plate. It belongs to the fixed hot melt treated aluminum plate.

 

The 7000 series is 7075 is the main representative grade of aluminum plate. Mainly reflected in the hardness, the performance is close to that of the 2000 series. Not commonly used at the moment.

The 8000 series is an aluminum plate with 8011 as the main representative and the main function of making bottle caps, which is not commonly used.
