1. Aluminum group commonly used in mechanical processing

The most popular aluminum grades today include: A1050, A1100, A3003, A5052, A6061, A6063 , and A7075 . Each type has its own characteristics:

  • A1050 / A1100: High purity aluminum, soft, ductile, suitable for decorative details, electrical and thermal conductivity.
  • A3003: With added manganese, increases strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for making plates, pipes, tanks.
  • A5052: More durable, resistant to marine environments, often used for equipment housings, automotive and marine parts.
  • A6061 / A6063: Easy to machine, easy to weld, heat treatable, widely used in precision mechanics, aluminum structures.
  • A7075: High-grade aluminum alloy, super durable, used in aviation, molds, and high-load components.

2. The aluminum code pairs can be replaced with equivalent ones.

Original aluminum codeEquivalent replacement codeNote
A1050 ↔ A1100Can be replaced directlyNearly equivalent in purity, conductivity
A3003 ↔ A5052Can be replaced in products requiring corrosion resistanceA5052 is more durable, suitable for harsh environments
A6061 ↔ A6063Can be used as a substitute for aluminum structures, frames, and tubes.A6061 is harder, A6063 has a more beautiful surface
A7075 ↔ A6061Can be replaced depending on load bearing requirementsA7075 is stronger, A6061 is more economical
 When selecting an alternative aluminum code, it is necessary to consider the working environment, processing method, mechanical requirements and cost to ensure both technical and economic optimization.
