Alloy Aluminum Plates Can Be Roughly Divided Into 7 Series

The aluminum plate is a pure aluminum plate, which is a series of 1, for example, 1060 aluminum sheet belongs to the 1 series. Alloy aluminum plates can be roughly divided into 7 series, which are 2-8 series. For example, 2A21 belongs to 2 series, 3003 aluminum sheet belongs to 3 series, 5052 aluminum sheet belongs to 5 series, and so on.

The 1000 series is made of pure aluminum, such as 1060. The main component of such aluminum is mainly aluminum. More than 99%.

The 2000 series is an aluminum plate with copper as the main alloying element. The copper content can be as high as 2% to 5%, or higher, depending on the application. The hardness of the 2000 series is relative to other grades. In the aerospace industry, the 2000 series of aluminum alloy sheets are also called aerospace aluminum. Due to the fact that it is not widely used in civilian applications, there are currently fewer factories producing 2000 series alloy aluminum sheets. The price of the same series of aluminum sheets is also relatively high. At present, the civilian series basically replaces the 2000 series with the 5052 series.

The 3000 series is an aluminum plate with manganese as the main alloying element. The manganese content is between 2 and 5%. Representatives of the 3000 series include 3003 aluminum and 3a21 aluminum. The main reason is that the 3000 series aluminum plates have certain anti-rust properties, and are widely used in humid environments such as air conditioners and refrigerators. The price is quite advantageous compared to other alloy plates.

The 6000 series is a combination of 4000 and 5000. The main alloying elements include silicon and magnesium, representing the 6061-T6 aluminum plate. It belongs to solid heat-melted aluminum sheet.

The 8000 series is mainly composed of 8011 Aluminum Foil , and the aluminum plate with the cap function as the main function is not very common.
