Aluminum

ALUMINUM SHEET AND PLATE

Aluminum in its various forms is stocked in a range of strengths
varying from that of Specification 1100-0 (which has a yield strength
of around 5000 lbs. per square inch) to that of Specification
7075-T6 (yield strength of about 70,000 lbs per square inch).
Here are a few typical applications within the range of these
specifications
Utility Sheet, is used for all general sheet metal work such as flashings, ductwork, lining walls, etc.
1100-0 is used primarily for spinning and deep drawing operations
such as utensils, ornaments, etc.
1100-H14 and 3003-H14 are specification alloys used for general
forming operations.
2024-O ALCLAD and 2024-T3 ALCLAD are used primarily in the
aircraft industry, where a high strength weight ratio is required.
5005-H14 similar in physical characteristics to 3003-H14 with superior corrosion resistance and a homogenous smooth surface finish
suitable for anodizing. This alloy is suitable for curtain walls, decorative trim, control panel boxes and signs, etc.
5083-H321 and H323 is one alloy of different tempers that produces
high weld joint efficiencies. It is used for tank work, heavy transport,
etc., where its welded properties can be used to advantage.
5083-H116 is an alloy that produces high weld joint efficiencies. It
is used in marine applications where its welded properties can be
used to advantage. The H116 condition is a special hardness with
mechanical characteristics close to H321. Its special nature derives
from the fact that it affords a guaranteed resistance to exfoliation
corrosion on delivery, as controlled by a standard test.
5052-H32 and H34 is a superior strength alloy of good forming
qualities and is especially suited for Marine applications.
5454-H32 is a sister alloy to 5083 with a lower rating to stress corrosion when functioning in the 150F to 300F range. Typical uses
are truck dump bodies, tanker trucks, exhaust stacks, chemical
handling tanks on vessels, etc.
6061-T6 is an excellent all purpose alloy, having high strength and
good corrosion resistance. It is used for all structural applications
such as mine cars, logging chutes, and ship construction.
7075-O ALCLAD and 7075-T6 ALCLAD are the highest strength
alloys produced and are used primarily for aircraft.
All the above alloys have good welding properties by the argon
tungsten arc or inert gas metal arc process with the exception of
2024 and 7075.

Aluminum

Painted Aluminum: 1100, 3003, 3105, 5005 and 5052 are just
some of common alloys available in painted product. Painted aluminum is produced in a broad range of mechanical properties and
the spectrum of finishes includes high durability exterior coatings,
specialized epoxies, polyesters, textured polyesters, flourocarbons
and metallics as well as washcoat primers. Standard colours can be
selected from or custom colour matching can be done to specification. Most coatings are available on one and two sides.

What the numbers mean

ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION
ALLOY AND
TEMPER DESIGNATION SYSTEMS
WROUGHT ALLOYS
The numbers used to describe aluminum wrought alloys conform to a code
developed by the ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION. The first four figures in the
grouping describe the alloys used. Other code figures or letters indicate the
form of the product and the type of heat-treatment given.
Here is how it works.
Four Digit Numerical Designations
1st Digit Indicates alloy group.
2nd Digit Indicates modifications in impurity limits.
3rd & 4th Digits Identify the different alloys in a group.
Alloy Groups
Alloy Number
Major Alloying Elements
1 XXX Aluminum 99.00% minimum and greater
2 XXX Copper
3 XXX Manganese
4 XXX Silicon
5 XXX Magnesium
6 XXX Magnesium & Silicon
7 XXX Zinc
8 XXX Other elements
9 XXX Unused series
The letter X preceding a 4 digit series indicates experimental
Example X7004.
Tempers
These designations follow the above alloy numbers.
F as fabricated Products which have no special control over final
temper.
O Annealed
H Strain-hardened where increased strength is obtained by cold work.
T Thermally treated to produce stable tempers other than F, "O or "H.
W Solution heat treated resulting in an unstable temper.

The first number 5 identifies the alloy group in this case

MAGNESIUM.
The second number 0 indicates any modification of the original
alloy. 0 means there was no modification.

5052-H34
The third and fourth numbers, (52), indicate the alloy in the group.
H indicates temper strain hardened. The 3 means hardened
and stabilized and the 4 means to a half hard condition.

7MPage 3

Subdivision of H. Temper
The first digit following an H indicates the specific combination of basic
operations:
H1 Strain-hardened only.
H2 Strain-hardened and partially annealed.
H3 Strain-hardened and stabilized.
H4 Strain-hardened and laquered or painted.
The second digit following an H indicates the degree of strain-hardening:
H x 1 Eighth hard
H x 2 Quarter hard
H x 4 Half hard
H x 6 Three-quarter hard
H x 8 Hard
H x 9 Extra hard
A third digit is sometimes used when the degree of control of temper or
mechanical properties are different from but close to those for the two-digit
H temper designation.
H111 Applies to products, which are strain hardened less than the amount
required for a controlled H11 temper.
H112 Applies to products, which acquire some temper from shaping
processes not having special control over the amount of strainhardening or thermal treatment, but for which there are mechanical
property limits.
H311 Applies to products, which are strain-hardened less than the amount
required for a controlled H31 temper.
H321 Applies to products, which are strain-hardened less than the amount
required for a controlled H32 temper.
H323-H343 Applies to products, which are specially fabricated to have
acceptable resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Subdivisions of T Temper
T10 Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and naturally
aged to a substantially stable condition.
T20 Annealed (cast products only).
T30 Solution heat-treated and then cold worked.
T40 Solution heat-treated and naturally aged to a substantially stable
condition.
T50 Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and then
artificially aged.
T60 Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged.
T70 Solution heat-treated and then overaged/stabilized.
T80 Solution heat-treated, cold worked, and then artificially aged.
T90 Solution heat-treated, artificially aged, and then cold worked.
T10 Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process, cold worked
and then artificially aged.
Additional digits may be added to indicate a variation in treatment, which
significantly alters the characteristics of the product.
T x 510 Stress-relieved by stretching.
T x 510 Products that receive no further straightening after stretching.
T x 511 Products that may receive minor straightening after stretching to
comply with standard tolerances.
T x 520 Stress-relieved by compressing.

ALUMINUM EXPANDED METAL

Expanded metal may be used for many industrial purposes such as open
partitions, window guards, machine guards and other manufacturing and
maintenance uses.
It is more rigid than an equal weight of solid aluminum plate or wire mesh.
In fabricating it may be cut to any desired shape without loss of its original
strength. Expanded metal has no sharp edges.

The radii listed are the minimum recommended for bending sheets
and plates without fracturing in a standard press brake with air bend
dies. Other types of bending operations may require larger radii or
permit smaller radii. The minimum permissible radii will also vary with
the design and condition of the tooling.
Alclad sheet in the heat-treatable alloys can be bent over slightly
smaller radii than the corresponding tempers of the bare alloy.
Heat-treatable alloys can be formed over appreciably smaller radii
immediately after solution heat treatment.
The H112 temper (applicable to non-heat treatable alloys) is supplied
in the as-fabricated condition without special property control but usually can be formed over radii applicable to the H14 (or H34) temper or
smaller.
The reference test method is ASTM E290.
Tempers T361 and T861 formerly designed T36 and T86, respectively.

SPECIFICATIONS OF
CANADIAN STANDARDS ASSOCIATION
The Canadian Standards Association, non-ferrous metal specification, are
prefixed by the letter H and another letter to denote the base metal: A for
aluminum. A number follows to define the subjects:
HA.10 general defintions, testing, packing, tolerances, etc.
HA.20 unalloyed ingot for remelting
HA.30 alloy ingot for remelting
HA.40 sheet, plate and coil
HA.50 wire, rod, rolled or drawn bar, extruded bar
HA.60 rivet rod and wire, welding and brazing rod and wire
HA.70 drawn or extruded, seamless tubes
HA.80 forgings
HA.90 sand castings
HA.10 permanent and semi-permanent mould castings
The alloys are identified by one or two letters indicating the main alloy constituents and one or two numbers. (C = copper, G = magnesium, S = silicon,
Z = zinc, N = nickel, M = manganese, etc.). Where the aluminum is unalloyed
the minimum aluminum content is expressed as the grade.

SPECIFICATIONS OF AMERICAN SOCIETY

FOR TESTING MATERIALS
The ASTM specifications are issued in the ASTM Standards Handbook,
which is published from time to time and for which an annual supplement is
provided. The specifications dealing with aluminum and other non-ferrous
metals are prefixed by the letter B. The specification number follows and,
after this, the year of issue. Where the specification is still tentative the year
is suffixed with the letter T.
The following specification numbers refer to aluminum:

U.S. FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS

The U.S. Federal specifications now being issued supersede many of those
departmental specifications previously issued by the U.S. Army, Navy, and
Air Force. Certain of these Federal Specifications cover products in a range
of alloys, while other specifications will deal with one product and alloy only.
In the first group come aluminum ingots, forgings, sands, permanent mould
and die castings. In the latter group are all the wrought products other than
forgings and welding and brazing materials.
