Aluminum alloy 7050 has high strength at subzero temperatures. However, their strength can be reduced at high temperatures. 7050 is heat treatable so as to produce mechanical properties of high strength and toughness. It has very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Commonly used in the manufacture of aircraft and other structures.
This alloy is 20% stronger than 1100 because manganese has been added and has good strength and is light weight. 3003 aluminum is well-suited to outdoor and harsh environment applications due to its durability and corrosion resistance. It has excellent workability and is used for spinning and stamping applications.
5052 has the highest strength alloy of the non-heat treatable grades and offers high workability, strength, corrosion resistance, and it can be easily welded. It has good resistance to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. With excellent workability it can be easily drawn and formed into intricate shapes.
6061-T6511 is a screw machine alloy that has superior corrosion resistance and anodizing features and is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloys due to its numerous characteristics. It is generally selected where welding or brazing is to be performed and is also used extensively in forging applications.
