Aluminum Grade For Sheet Metal

It can be drawn or formed easily into intricate forms.

Aluminum grade for sheet metal.

Aluminum flat sheet is a thin flat piece of aluminum with many applications. Alloy 5052 has a good marine atmosphere corrosion resistance of saltwater and excellent workability. Ryerson offers heat treatable aluminum sheet grades like the popular 6061 aluminum alloy that can be used for commercial applications that require strength corrosion resistance and machinability as well as non heat treatable grades when formability and weldability are priorities. Used for drawing spinning fuel tanks and sheet metal work.

It has good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. This grade can be deep drawn or spun welded or brazed. This alloy is non heat treatable and is corrosion resistant. Its resistance to fatigue is better than most grades of aluminum.

This is the highest strength alloy of the more non heat treatable grades. This is the highest strength alloy of the non heat treatable grades. Aluminum sheet aluminum sheet metal comes in a variety of thicknesses and weights in many different grades. 5052 aluminum is the highest strength alloy of the more non heat treatable grades.

A letter representing temper follows the first four digits to indicate if the material is supplied already work hardened h or heat treated t or annealed o at the mill. It has excellent corrosion resistance and workability. It is measured by its thickness gauge. A commercially pure aluminum with added manganese to increase its strength 20 stronger than the 1100 grade.

Other popular grades of aluminum alloys include alloy 6063 an architectural alloy and alloy 7075 one of the maximum strength aluminum alloys currently available.
