Aluminium Alloys

There are ranges of aluminium alloys available in the form of extrusions, which enable extrusions to be used in most applications.

Types of Alloys

1xxx	Aluminium of 99% minimum purity
2xxx	Aluminium – copper alloys
3xxx	Aluminium – manganese alloys
4xxx	Aluminium – silicon alloys
5xxx	Aluminium – magnesium alloys
6xxx	Aluminium – magnesium – silicon alloys
7xxx	Aluminium – zinc – magnesium alloys
8xxx	Miscellaneous alloys eg. Aluminium lithium alloys

At Capalex we use the following alloys; 1050, 1200, 2014, 2014A, 2017A, 2024, 3003, 5083, 6005A, 6060, 6061, 6063, 6063A, 6082, 7020, 7050,7075.

The 6000 and 7000 series aluminium alloys are the most commonly used and have a wide range of applications; Click on the link to download a full table of common extrusion aluminium alloys and their properties.

Each Alloy has a different chemical composition, which can be seen on each alloy sheet, click on the alloy you require for more information;
