They represent the composition of the alloy and the treatment it received after manufacturethere are many sources online that can give you the infoLucky for the bike industry, every aluminum frame regardless of price utilizes virgin aluminum- this means no recycled productThe main difference in the cheapest versus most expensive aluminum frames is in the engineering undertaken in the development of the tubes, the consistency of the alloy, and the constructionCheap frames tend to have thick tubes and go through very minimal post treatment while the better stuff is subject to very precise conditionsKinesis, the first company ever to market a production aluminum bike frame (for Diamondback) originally determined that aluminum required no post treatmentthis resulted in many frame failuresOnce the determination was made that there was a need for annealing, tempering and aging the industry took off.
