Aluminum sheets are made from pure aluminum or aluminum alloys. Common alloying elements include copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc.
1000 Series: Pure aluminum (99% or higher), excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal/electrical conductivity.
3000 Series: Alloyed with manganese, known for good corrosion resistance and moderate strength.
5000 Series: Alloyed with magnesium, offers good corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, and high strength.
Aluminum coils are made from pure aluminum or aluminum alloys, often containing elements like magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc to enhance specific properties.
1000 Series: Nearly pure aluminum (99% or higher), offering excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal/electrical conductivity.
3000 Series: Alloyed with manganese, known for good corrosion resistance and moderate strength.
5000 Series: Alloyed with magnesium, providing good corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, and high strength.
6000 Series: Alloyed with magnesium and silicon, offering balanced strength and workability with good corrosion resistance.
7000 Series: Alloyed with zinc, known for very high strength, commonly used in aerospace applications.
