Classification of Aluminum Alloys
• Heat-Treatable Alloys– Can obtain increased strength
levels through precipitation hardening
– Typical hardening additions include copper, magnesium, zinc and silicon
– These additions show increasing solid solubility with increasing temperature
– Alloys of this type include the 2000, 6000 and 7000 series
• Non-Heat-Treatable Alloys– Strengthened by work-
hardening and solid solution strengthening
– Elements such as manganese, silicon, iron and magnesium are typical solid-solution hardening agents
– Alloys of this type include the 1000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series
