Do you know the specific use classification of aluminum profiles?

The categories and uses of aluminum profiles can be divided into:

01
Aluminum Profiles for Buildings

Mainly used in the construction field, mainly in doors and windows and curtain wall materials.

02
Industrial Aluminum Profiles

Mainly used in aerospace, rail transit, mechanical equipment, electronic products and general industrial aluminum profiles.

Surface Treatment Methods

According to the surface treatment methods, aluminum profiles are divided into:

Anodized Colored Profiles Electrophoretic Painted Profiles Powder Sprayed Profiles Fluorocarbon Painted Profiles Polished Profiles Aluminum-Wood Composite Profiles

Aluminum Profile Series (1xxx – 9xxx)

Aluminum profiles can be divided into 1-9 series according to the different content of aluminum and the different proportion of added alloy components:

1xxx
1050 / 1060 / 1070 — Pure Aluminum Plates

Among all series, 1000 series belongs to the series with the most aluminum content, and the purity can reach over 99.00%.

2xxx
2A16 / 2A12 / 2A06 — Aviation Aluminum

Higher hardness; copper content is the highest at about 3-5%. 2000 series aluminum plate belongs to aviation aluminum, which is not often used in conventional industry.

3xxx
3003 / 3A21 — Antirust Aluminum Plates

Mainly composed of manganese with content between 1.0 and 1.5. The production process of 3000 series aluminum plate in China is excellent.

4xxx
4A01 — High Silicon Content

Silicon content between 4.5 and 6.0%. Used as building materials, mechanical parts, forging and welding materials. Low melting point and good corrosion resistance.

5xxx
5052 / 5005 / 5083 / 5A05 — Mature Series

In China, 5000 series aluminum plates belong to one of the more mature aluminum plate series.

6xxx
6061 — Most Commonly Used (incl. 6063-T5)

Mainly contains magnesium and silicon, integrating the advantages of 4000 and 5000 series. Cold-treated aluminum forging product with easy coating, high strength and strong corrosion resistance. We mainly use 6063-T5 high-grade aluminum in Shangyue!

7xxx
7075 — Aerospace Grade Al-Mg-Zn-Cu Alloy

Mainly containing zinc. A heat-treatable alloy often used to manufacture aircraft structures, high-stress structural parts and molds that require high strength and strong corrosion resistance.

8xxx
8011 — Bottle Caps & Radiators

Belongs to other series. Most aluminum plates are mainly used as bottle caps and radiators. Most of them are aluminum foils, which are seldom used.

9xxx
9xxx — Standby Series

The International Federation of Aluminum Strip has specifically indicated that this series is reserved to cope with the appearance of aluminum plates containing other alloying elements.

Industry Development Outlook (2016–2020)

The Development Plan of Non-ferrous Metals Industry (2016-2020) compiled and issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology points out that the main development line of non-ferrous metals in China in the next five years is “structural reform and expanding market demand”. From the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” of automobile manufacturing, rail transit, aerospace and other fields closely related to aluminum industry, aluminum is the most qualified non-ferrous metal to expand market demand, which also provides a good opportunity for high-end aluminum enterprises to develop.
