Aluminum alloy is a lightweight metallic material made by adding appropriate alloying elements (such as silicon, copper, magnesium, zinc, etc.) to a pure aluminum base. It combines low density, high strength, excellent thermal conductivity, and strong corrosion resistance. With outstanding formability and machinability, aluminum alloys are widely used as structural materials in industries such as aerospace, automotive, transportation, power, and precision manufacturing.
Key Material Advantages
Lightweight and strong: About one-third the density of steel, with strength enhanced by alloying to meet structural requirements
Excellent workability: Suitable for forging, extrusion, milling, welding, and other processing methods
Corrosion resistance: Naturally forms an oxide layer that improves resistance in atmospheric and chemical environments
High thermal and electrical conductivity: Ideal for conductors, heat sinks, and power system components
Attractive appearance and anodizing potential: Readily surface-treated to enhance protection and aesthetics
Common Alloy Series
1xxx series: Commercially pure aluminum, excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance
2xxx series: Aluminum-copper alloys, used for high-strength structural parts
5xxx series: Aluminum-magnesium alloys, great corrosion resistance and weldability, widely used in marine and automotive sectors
6xxx series: Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys, balance of strength and processability, one of the most versatile series
7xxx series: Aluminum-zinc alloys, ultra-high strength, primarily used in aerospace
