Classification by alloy series

Aluminum alloy is made of aluminum and other metal elements (such as copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese, zinc, etc.) through alloy materials. Aluminum alloy has excellent properties in terms of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in aviation, automobile, construction, electronics, packaging and other industries.

1.1000 series :pure aluminum alloy, the main element is aluminum, and the content of other elements is very small . 1050, 1070

Performance: high purity aluminum, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance

Application: Conductive materials, heat exchange devices, chemical equipment pipelines

2.2000 series :aluminum-copper alloy, mainly adding copper (Cu) . 2011, 2014, 2017, 2117, 2024

Performance: good cutting performance, high strength, low corrosion resistance

Application: General term for duralumin, cutting materials: structural materials such as parts screws, aircraft materials, forging materials, gasoline engine hydraulic parts, sporting goods, etc.
