Characteristics of aluminum stamping parts

The aluminum alloy is a lightweight metallic material consisting primarily of aluminum as the base element, supplemented with appropriate quantities of other alloying elements. In addition to possessing the general characteristics associated with aluminum, various types and proportions of alloying elements are incorporated to confer unique properties upon the aluminum alloys. These alloys exhibit a density range of 2.63~2.85g/cm3 and possess high strength (σb ranging from 110 to 650MPa), approaching the specific strength of high-alloy steel while surpassing its stiffness. Furthermore, they demonstrate excellent casting performance and plastic processing properties, exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, as well as weldability. Consequently, they represent one of the commonly employed materials for metal stamping and sheet metal fabrication.

  • Good electrical and thermal conductivity
  • Corrosion-resistant and weldable
  • Non-toxic and easy to recycle

Grades of aluminum

The pure aluminum used in stamping operations is commonly alloyed with other metals, such as copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc, to enhance specific material properties and optimize the performance of the final product.

  • The 1000 series boasts the highest aluminum content among all series, with a purity level that can exceed 99.00%. Due to its lack of technical additives, the production process is relatively straightforward and cost-effective. As such, it has become the most widely used series in conventional industries, with 1050 and 1060 being the predominant products in circulation.
  • The 2000 series is characterized by its high hardness, boasting the highest copper content of approximately 3-5%. These aluminum plates belong to the aviation industry and are not commonly utilized in traditional sectors.
  • The 3000 series, also known as rust-resistant aluminum, primarily consists of manganese with a content ranging from 1.0-1.5%. This product line exhibits excellent anti-rust performance.
  • The 4000 series belongs to the higher silicon series, typically containing a silicon content ranging from 4.5% to 6.0%. Due to its low melting point and excellent corrosion resistance, it finds extensive applications in building materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, and welding materials.
  • The 5000 series belongs to the more commonly utilized alloy aluminum plate series, with magnesium as its main element and a magnesium content ranging between 3-5%. It is also known as aluminum-magnesium alloy. Its key characteristics include low density, high tensile strength, and high elongation. In comparison to other series, aluminum-magnesium alloy has a lower weight in the same field. Therefore, it finds extensive application in aviation sectors such as aircraft fuel tanks.
  • The 6000 series is primarily composed of two elements, magnesium and silicon, with the representative grade being 6061. This cold-treated aluminum forging product is suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. It boasts excellent workability, interface characteristics, coating properties, and processing performance.
  • The 7000 series belongs to the aviation category and is composed of an aluminum-magnesium zinc-copper alloy. It undergoes heat treatment, resulting in excellent wear resistance characteristics.
  • The 8000 series is composed of aluminum plates primarily used for manufacturing bottle caps and radiator aluminum foil.
