What is the difference between 4000 series and 5000 series aluminum ?
In the same area under the weight of the aluminum-magnesium alloy lower than other series. So commonly used in aviation, such as aircraft fuel tanks. In conventional industrial applications more widely. The process of casting and rolling, hot-rolled aluminum oxide processing series can do so. In our 5000 series aluminum is one of the more mature series aluminum.
5000 Series
Representative 5052.5005.5083.5A05 series. 5000 series aluminum is more commonly used aluminum alloy series, the main elements of magnesium, magnesium content between 3-5%. Also it can be called magnesium alloy. Main characteristics of low density, high tensile strength and elongation.
4000 series aluminum
Representatives 4A01 4000 series aluminum is higher silicon content. Usually silicon content of between 4.5-6.0%. It is used in construction materials, machinery parts, forging materials, welding materials; low melting point, good corrosion resistance Product Description: with heat and wear characteristics
