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.
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.
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.
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.
