Aluminum Alloys For Sheet Metal

5000 series marine aluminium alloy sheet 5000 series.

Aluminum alloys for sheet metal.

Casting speed can also be increased and improved characteristics achieved. This series is one of the most preferable for forming applications. Series 3xxx are the aluminum manganese alloys. We can provide custom cut to size aluminum sheet metal to meet your exact requirements.

Series 4xxx are the aluminum silicon alloys. Your 1 source for aluminum sheet metal. Series marine aluminium alloy sheet products are offered for sale by suppliers on of which aluminum sheets accounts for aluminum strips accounts for a wide variety of 5000 series marine aluminium alloy sheet options are available to you such as o h112 t3 t8 and. This class of alloy is the closest to pure aluminum.

Cast aluminum alloys typically have low melting points and tensile strength when compared to wrought aluminum. Alloys are assigned a four digit number in which the first digit identifies a general class or series characterized by its main alloying elements. The controlled addition of amg aluminum s titanium boron aluminium tibal grain refiners to molten aluminium releases nucleant particles that promote equiaxed fine grain structure throughout the cast alloy thus avoiding formation of columnar crystals. The most commonly used aluminum alloy is aluminum silicon which features high levels of silicon that enable the alloy to be easily cast.

With an addition of 1 manganese these alloys have no significant loss in ductility good corrosion resistance and very good formability. These other elements include iron silicon copper magnesium manganese and zinc at levels that combined may make up as much as 15 percent of the alloy by weight. Industrial metal supply stocks a full line of aluminum sheet and plate. This series has the addition of silicon thus lowering the melting point and for this reason it is used entirely for manufacturing welding wire.

1xxx alloys are easily weldable and are generally used with 1100 filler metal. An aluminum alloy is a chemical composition where other elements are added to pure aluminum in order to enhance its properties primarily to increase its strength.
