Common aluminum alloy grades include 1000 series, 2000 series, 3000 series, 4000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series, 7000 series, 8000 series, and 9000 series.
1000 series
Representative 1050 1060 1070
The 1000 series aluminum plate is also called pure aluminum plate. Among all series, the 1000 series contains the most aluminum. The purity can reach more than 99.00%. Since it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is currently the most commonly used series in conventional industries. Most of the ones currently circulating on the market are 1050 and 1060 series.
The minimum aluminum content of the 1000 series aluminum plate is determined based on the last two Arabic numerals of the series. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50. According to the international brand naming principles, the aluminum content must reach more than 99.5% to be a qualified product. my country's aluminum alloy technical standards (gB/T3880-2006) also clearly stipulate that the aluminum content of 1050 reaches 99.5%. For the same reason, the aluminum content of 1060 series aluminum plates must reach more than 99.6%.
2000 series aluminum plate
Represents 2A16 (LY16) 2A06 (LY6)
The 2000 series aluminum plate is characterized by high hardness, among which the copper content is the highest, about 3-5%. 2000 series aluminum plates are aviation aluminum materials and are currently not commonly used in conventional industries. There are currently few manufacturers producing 2000 series aluminum plates in our country. The quality cannot be compared with foreign countries. Currently, imported aluminum plates are mainly provided by Korean and German manufacturers. With the development of my country's aerospace industry, the production technology of 2000 series aluminum plates will be further improved.
3000 series aluminum plate
Mainly representing 3003 3003 3A21.
3000 series aluminum plates can also be called rust-proof aluminum plates. The production technology of my country's 3000 series aluminum plates is relatively excellent. 3000 series aluminum plates are mainly composed of manganese. The content is between 1.0-1.5. It is a series with better anti-rust function. It is commonly used in humid environments such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and car bottoms. The price is higher than the 1000 series, and it is a more commonly used alloy series.
