Range of application |
|
1050A |
This is the most common alloy for aluminium sheet. It
has great corrosion resistance and is also very formable
and easy to weld. The fields of application in industry
are very large and varied. |
|
2007 |
Equal to EN 2011. Gives slightly longer
shavings/granules/particles but has a 20 per cent higher
breaking point, which is an advantage when stronger
threads are required. It is a very common alloy in the
rest of Europe and is mainly used for hydraulic and
pneumatic components. |
|
2011 |
This is the most suitable alloy for cutting which has
the great advantage of tensile strength and very short
shavings/granules/particles. The corrosion resistance is
not so good and welding is not recommended. This alloy
is not suitable for decorative anodizing, however it can
be anodized to increase the serviceable life of wearing
surfaces and improve corrosion resistance. |
|
2014 |
A suitable alloy for cutting, which also has the
advantage of tensile strength. A common alloy within the
defence and aircraft industry. Corrosion resistance is
not so good and welding is not recommended. |
|
2024 |
This alloy is mostly used in the defence and aircraft
industry. |
|
5005 |
An alloy for the decorative anodizing of sheet aluminium.
It has approximately the same qualities as EN 1050A, but
with greater tensile strength. It can be used for
facings, signs, panels and parts of components requiring
a special finish. |
|
5083 |
Very high resistance against corrosion used in marine
environments. It also has the advantage of tensile
strength. Particle breaking is better than with alloy EN
5754. This is a material with minimal strains and very
good welding properties. It can be used, for example,
for boats, machine parts, fixtures and tools. It is
available in sheets of up to 500 millimetres in
thickness. |
|
5754 |
An alloy with high resistance against corrosion and good
welding properties. It is relatively easy to work with
and is good for cutting. It also has the advantage of
tensile strength. It is suitable for marine
environments. It is a common alloy in thicker sheets for
machine parts and in thinner sheets that require greater
strength. |
|
6005 |
Is equivalent to alloy EN 6063, but slightly stronger.
It has better cutting properties and retains its surface
finish after anodizing. |
|
6012 |
These are both short particle alloys that have excellent
cutting qualities. |
|
6262 |
Corrosion resistance is good and both alloys are
suitable for decorative anodizing. |
|
6063 |
This is the most common alloy for extruded profiles. It
is used for constructions which require good tensile
strength and surface finish. It is suitable as profiles
for windows, doors, equipment parts and chassis in the
electronics industry. |
|
6463 |
This is the best alloy which could bring out the highest
brightness from polishing process. When the surface
treatment concerned. |
|
6082 |
A good alloy where demands for tensile strength and good
cutting characteristics are higher. It is to be found in
sheet, bars and profiles. Used in load bearing
constructions and for finished machine parts that
require a good surface finish after anodizing. A certain
in-built tension can occur in rolled products. |
|
7020 |
A suitable alloy for welded joints where high tensile
strength is required. Welded constructions should be
protected against corrosion. The alloy also has good
characteristics in terms of cutting and other
processing. |
|
7022 |
This is an alloy with very good qualities of tensile
strength, high breaking point and good cutting
properties. |
|
7075 |
This is one of the hardest and strongest aluminium
alloys. It is often used instead of steel within the
aircraft industry and in the production of tools. It has
a very high tensile strength, low weight and is ideally
suited to all types of further processing. The alloy
also has good stability of form and can be hard
anodized. |
