PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM

AlMgSi0,5 / EN AW 6060 – 130 – 245 N/mm²

is the most commonly-used material and belongs to the easily pressable alloys.
This alloy stands out due to

• particularly good anodising quality,
• seawater and thus corrosion resistance,
• good weldability,
• very good bending capacity - with corresponding strength.

DIN 17615 - AlMgSi0,5 precision sections - is relevant for this material. It takes into account the quite good formability and the narrow tolerances and thin wall thicknesses possible as a result compared to other materials.
Applications: Architecture, mechanical engineering, furniture, vehicle construction, electrical engineering

AlMgSi0,7 / EN AW 6005A – 270 N/mm²

Similar properties to AlMgSi 0,5, but higher strengths - up to 270 N/mm2 - for appropriate applications.
Applications: Mechanically stressed components

AlMgSi1 / EN AW 6082 – 205 up to 310 N/mm²

Construction material

• with high strength values
• good weldability
• seawater and therefore corrosion resistant
• technically anodisable - not used for decorative purposes

Applications: Components subject to high mechanical stress

AlCuMgPb / EN AW 2007 - 340 to 370 N/mm2

Naturally hard material - especially suitable for machining (short chip due to Pb content).

Applications: Drilling and turning material

AlZn4,5Mg1 / EN AW 7020 – up to 350 N/mm²

Difficult to press construction material with excellent weldability.
Applications: highly stressed welded structures, especially in construction and mechanical engineering.

AlZnMgCu1,5 / EN AW 7075 – 500 to 530 N/mm²

The material for highest loads and stresses (very low corrosion resistance).
Applications: Structures with very high stress in aircraft, vehicle and mechanical engineering.

Al99,5 / EN AW 1050 – H0 to H28

Naturally hard material, mainly for rolled products
Applications: Metal processing

AlMg1 / EN AW 5005 – H0 to H38

Naturally hard material, resistant to seawater, good weldability, good anodising properties, for decorative surfaces.
Applications: Facade, metal and vehicle construction, packaging

AlMg3 / EN AW 5754 - up to 180 N/mm2

Naturally hard material for rolled products and simple profile cross-sections

• with very good corrosion resistance,
• good weldability,
• good anodising quality.

Applications: Architecture, mechanical engineering and furniture industry

AlMg4,5Mn / EN AW 5083 – H0 to H36H36

Naturally hard material, resistant to seawater, good weldability, excellently suitable for statically stressed constructions.
Applications: Important alloy for shipbuilding, furthermore in mechanical engineering, vehicle and apparatus construction, civil engineering
