7075 is an aluminum alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It is one of the strongest aluminum alloys comparable to many steels, and has good fatigue strength and average machinability. 7075 was specifically designed for aircraft frames because of its strength somewhat greater than steel while maintaining the light weight of aluminum.
Popularly known as “the aircraft alloy”, 2024 has higher properties than 2011 or 2017 an is largely used for aircraft fittings. It is widely used for all types of threaded fasteners because of its relatively higher shear strength.
6063 an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements, is the most common alloy used for aluminum extrusion. Heat treatable and weldable, 6063 allows complex shapes to be formed with very smooth surfaces for a variety of exterior and interior architectural applications.
Aluminum alloy 6262 is a heat treatable alloy with very good corrosion resistance and strength. Additions of bismuth and lead help to lubricate the cutting tool giving it excellent machinability and surface finish.
