Alloy
1100 is pure aluminum (99% or greater) and is strain
hardenable. It is highly resistant to chemical attack
and weathering, but would not be used where strength
is a prime consideration. Rather the emphasis would
be on those applications where extremely high corrosion
resistance, formability and/or electrical conductivity
are required. |

This
aluminum-copper alloy is heat treatable and has high
strength at room and elevated temperatures. It is
widely used in high strength structural, aircraft
and truck body applications where superior resistance
to stress corrosion cracking and high temperature
properties are desired. |

The
4xxx alloys are the aluminum-silicon family. With
their high silicon content, they possess good flow
characteristics and medium strength. they are heat
treatable, with a low melting point and narrow freeze
range. When welding, silicon allows for the complete
filling of crevices and grooves in the joined pieces.
When forging, the presence of silicon ensures the
efficient filling of complex dies. Used for pistons
and complex-shaped forgings. |

The
5xxx series are aluminum-magnesium alloys that have
moderately high strength, excellent corrosion resistance
even in salt water, and are very tough even at cryogenic
temperatures to almost absolute zero. They are strain
hardenable. 5xxx alloys are widely used in construction,
highways structures, storage tanks (including cryogenic),
pressure vessels, and marine applications. |
