 14. Choosing the Correct
Extrusion Alloy
. . . is determined by what the rod, bar, section or tube will be used for and how it will be
machined or finished. Then you can quickly compare your application requirement with the
commonly available alloys. You will find below useful descriptions of what each alloy can do.

1050/1200 — Soft workable alloys having high purity which gives excellent corrosion
resistance.

2011 — The Free Machining Alloy — Machines to an excellent finish. Often replaces free
machining brass without a change of tooling. First choice for screw machined parts unless
higher strength or more corrosion resistance is required. Contains lead and bismuth and
consequently losing popularity to alternatives — please enquire.

2014 — Has a tendency to allow the removal of a greater volume of metal in a single
operation for an equivalent standard of finish than 6082. Durability, however, is lower and
needs a protective coating. Machines better in solution treated condition than fully heat
treated. Used for machined parts where these characteristics are critical. The most common
aerospace extrusion alloy.

3003/3103 — 1% Mag Alloy. Usually stocked in solid bar form rather than shapes. A good
welding alloy often used in cryogenic applications.

5056A/5083/5251 — Alloys in which magnesium is the main alloying element. Ductile in the
soft condition but work hardens rapidly becoming extremely tough. Very good weldability
and high resistance to marine atmospheres makes them ideal for shipbuilding and road
transport applications. Harder to extrude than other alloys, particularly in hollows, and
therefore longer lead times and higher prices. Not generally stocked, but metalweb carry a
comprehensive range.
SHAPES
6061 — Standard structural alloy easily welded or brazed with fine finishing characteristics
and good corrosion resistance. Similar to 6082 with better formability but more difficult to
extrude and possessing lower strength. Used for couplings, hardware, hydraulic pistons, etc.

6063 — Low to medium strength alloy suitable for more intricate sections requiring good
corrosion resistance and high surface finish. Used in transport and all architectural
applications where good anodising characteristics are essential. The most common alloy for
shapes from stock.

6082 — Most versatile of all the medium strength alloys with good mechanical properties,
corrosion resistance, weldability and machinability. Most common commercial rod and bar
alloy from stock. Metalweb have the largest range available.

7075 — Highest strength bars normally stocked. Not a standard screw machine grade yet
produces curled or easily broken chips with good to excellent machined finish. Has high
hardness but poor corrosion and welding characteristics. For machined parts requiring high
strength. Mainly used in the aerospace industry. Available in rounds and rectangles.

15. Choosing the Correct Plate
and Sheet Alloy
. . . is determined by what the plate, sheet or strip will be used for, how severely it will be
formed and what the welding requirements are. Then you can quickly match your application
needs with the properties of the commonly available aluminium alloys. You will find below
useful descriptions of what each alloy can do.

NON-HEAT TREATABLE ALLOYS

1050/1080/1200 — Commercially pure aluminium, highly resistant to chemical attack and
weathering. Easily worked and welded, but the lowest strength aluminium. Excellent for
chemical processing equipment and other uses where product purity is important, and for
metal pressings of all types where ductility is critical.

3003/3103 — Stronger than 1200 with same good formability. Fine corrosion resistance and
weldability. Used for storage tanks, chemical equipment, brazing applications, van bodies
and cryogenic uses. For higher strength, consider 5052/5251/5754.

5005 — Specified for anodised applications to match with 6063 extrusions. Anodised
coating is clearer and lighter than for 3003/3103 in severe drawing applications. Uses are
decorative, architectural and consumer products.

5052/5251/5754 — Forms readily in the intermediate tempers. Corrosion resistance is very

good, as is weldability. Better salt water corrosion resistance than 1200. Used for pressure
vessels, tanks, fittings or applications involving forming or welding, e.g. used for houseboat
hulls, pontoon boats and van bodies. 5052 (2.5% Mag) is commonly used in the USA; 5251
(2% Mag) is largely a ‘UK only’ standard; whereas 5754 (3% Mag) is the European standard
in this range.

5083 — Stronger than the above alloys (e.g. 4.5% Mag). For high strength welded
applications with outstanding joint strength — rail wagons, marine components, bridges,
SHAPES
stationary cryogenic vessels and overhead cranes. Excellent weldability and corrosion
resistance. Restricted to temperatures below 150ºF = 65.5ºC. The widest range of plate from
stock, and we are in the position to offer short mill lead times.

HEAT TREATABLE ALLOYS

2014/2024 — High strength alloys with excellent machinability widely used in aircraft. Have
limited formability and only fair corrosion resistance in the heat treated condition. Not
recommended for fusion welding. Used for high strength parts in aircraft and machinery,
including gears and bolts and for security vans where strength is critical.

6082/6061 — Widely used structural alloys for light to medium strength applications.
Combine good formability, weldability, corrosion resistance and strength after heat
treatment. Since they lose appreciable strength when welded, the 5000 series alloys replace
them in some marine applications. Availability of bars, shapes, tubing and pipe in the same
alloy helps make this a popular selection. 6082 is the most common heat treated plate from
stock. 6061 is more commonly used in the USA.

7075 — A very high strength aircraft alloy. Good machinability and hardness. Not for welding
or corrosion resistance. Widely used for tools and moulds and specialist applications. We
carry a complete range of plate and bar in this alloy.
