Aluminum Sheet, Plate and Coil

NON-HEAT TREATABLE (COMMON) ALLOYS

1100 (UNS A91100) is commercially pure aluminum (99.00% minimum). Excellent corrosion resistance, workability and weldability; high thermal conductivity. Tensile strength range 14,000 to 24,000 psi. Uses include deep drawing and spinning requirements, sheet metal work, decorative and architectural applications, air ducts, name plates, fan blades, etc. Conforms to Federal specification QQ-A-250/1.

3003 (UNS A93003) is alloyed with 1.2% manganese to provide a tensile strength range of 17,000 to 30,000 psi. Excellent workability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Used for drawing, spinning, fuel tanks, sheet metal work and other applications where slightly higher strength than 1100 is required. Conforms to Federal specification QQ-A-250/2.

5005 (UNS A95005) is alloyed with .8% magnesium. Tensile strength range 18,000 to 30,000 psi. Excellent workability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Specified for applications comparable to 1100 and 3003 —where anodizing is required. Anodized finish matches that of architectural alloy 6063. Conforms to ASTM specification B209.

5052 (UNS A95052) is alloyed with 2.5% magnesium. Tensile strength range 31,000 to 4.4,000 psi. Very good corrosion resistance, good workability, weldability and strength. Used for aircraft fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerator liners, utensils, electronic mounting plates and panels, fan blades, etc. Conforms to Federal specification QQ-A-258/8.

5083 (UNS A95083) is alloyed with 4.45% magnesium, 0.65% manganese and 0.15% chromium. Tensile strength range: 40,000 to 59,000 psi. For use in structures requiring high weld efficiency for maximum joint strength—Plus light weight and corrosion resistance. Applications: marine components, truck bodies, construction equipment, tanks, structural towers, drilling rigs, cryogenic applications, etc. Conforms to ASME SB 209.

5086 (UNS A95086) is alloyed with 4.0% magnesium, 45% manganese and 0.15% chromium. This alloy has a typical tensile strength range of 40,000 to 54,000 psi. It offers resistance to stress corrosion and superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion plus good general workability. Applications include tanks (stationary, trailer and rail-car), marine components and welded assemblies of all kinds. Conforms to Federal specification QQ-A-250/7.

5454 (UNS A95454) is alloyed with 2.7% magnesium, 0.8% manganese and 0.12% chromium. Tensile strength range 36,000 to 47,000 psi. Good formability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Uses include pressure vessels (ASME code approved for up to 400° F.), tanks, welded structures, etc. Conforms to Federal specification QQ-A-250/10.
