Aluminum 1100 [(UNS A91100) Al min. 99%, Si + Fe 0.95%, Cu 0.05-0.2%, Mn 0.05%]

ASTM B211

1100 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. It soft and ductile with excellent workability as the most weldable aluminum alloy. Cold working increases its strength. 1100 exhibits excellent resistance under severely corrosive conditions. Great for use when electrical conductivity is required. This aluminum is often used for decorative architectural trim, screens, grills, cold-headed and cold-threaded parts.

Aluminum 1350 [(UNS A91350) Fe 0.4%, Si 0.1%, Cu 0.05%, Mn 0.01%, Cr 0.01% (max. values)]

ASTM B233

1350 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. Composed of a minimum 99.5% aluminum. Cold working increases its strength. Often used for electrical conductivity.

Aluminum 3003 [(UNS A93003) Mn 1-1.5%, Fe 0.7%, Si 0.6%, Cu 0.05-0.2%]

ASTM B211, AMS-QQ-A-225

3003 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. Due to its composition, 3003 is approximately 20% stronger than type 1100. Cold working increases its strength. It is readily worked and contains magnesium for excellent service under severely corrosive conditions. 

Aluminum 5052 [(UNS A95052) Mg 2.2-2.8%, Fe 0.4%, Cr 0.15-0.35%, Si 0.25%, Cu 0.1%, Mn 0.1%]

ASTM B211

5052 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy known for its durability. Cold working increases its strength. It contains magnesium for excellent service under severely corrosive conditions. 5052 is especially resistant to marine atmosphere and salt water corrosion. Often used for marine and chemical industry application.

Aluminum 5056 [(UNS A95056) Mg 4.5-5.6%, Fe 0.4%, Si 0.3%, Mn 0.05-0.2%, Cr 0.05-0.2%]

ASTM B21, AMS 4182

5056 is the strongest non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. Cold working increases its strength. It contains magnesium for excellent service under severely corrosive conditions. While strong, this aluminum is quite ductile and serves great for wire screens and fasteners.

Aluminum 5154 [(UNS A95154) Mg 3.1-3.9%, Fe 0.4%, Cr 0.15-0.35%, Si 0.25%, Cu 0.1%, Mn 0.1%]

ASTM B211

5154 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. This aluminum has moderate strength, excellent formability, and corrosion resistance. Great for cold heading applications.

Aluminum 6061 [(UNS A96061) Mg 0.8-1.2%, Si 0.4-0.8%, Fe 0.7%, Cu 0.15-0.4%, Cr 0.04-0.35%, Mn 0.15%]

ASTM B211, AMS QQ-A-225/8

6061 is the most versatile heat-treatable aluminum alloy. It as excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and formability. Often used in a wide variety of mechanical applications such as fasteners, fittings, marine, aircraft, and aerospace uses.
