Application areas of aluminum

All kinds of aircraft use aluminum alloy as the main structural material. Skins, beams, ribs, stringers, bulkheads, and landing gear on aircraft can all be made of aluminum alloys. The amount of aluminum used in the aircraft varies according to its purpose. Commercial aircraft that focus on economic benefits are widely used due to the low price of aluminum alloys. For example, the aluminum alloy used in Boeing 767 passenger aircraft accounts for about 81% of the weight of the body structure. Military aircraft relatively reduce the amount of aluminum due to the requirement of good combat performance. For example, the F-15 high-performance fighter with a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.5 uses only 35.5% aluminum alloy. Some aluminum alloys have good low temperature properties, are not cold and brittle under -183~-253[2oc], and can work in liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen environments. Therefore, it is a good material for the manufacture of liquid rockets. The fuel tanks, oxidizer tanks, inter-tank sections, inter-stage sections, tail sections and instrument cabins of each stage of the "Saturn" 5 launch vehicle that launched the "Apollo" spacecraft are all made of aluminum alloys.

The crew compartment, front fuselage, mid-fuselage, rear fuselage, vertical tail, flaps, elevons and horizontal tail of the space shuttle are all made of aluminum alloys. The main structural materials of various artificial earth satellites and space probes are also aluminum alloys.

The following are the application areas of the various models:

1050 Extrusion coils for food, chemical and brewing industries, various hoses, fireworks powder.

1060 requires high corrosion resistance and formability, but does not require high strength. Chemical equipment is its typical use.

1100 is used for processing parts that require good formability and high corrosion resistance but do not require high strength, such as chemical products, food industry equipment and storage containers, sheet metal processing, deep drawing or spinning concave vessels, Welded parts, heat exchangers, printed boards, nameplates, reflectors.

3003 is used for processing parts that require good formability, high corrosion resistance and good weldability, or work that requires both these properties and higher strength than 1XXX series alloys, such as kitchenware, food and chemical product processing and storage devices, tanks and tanks for transporting liquid products, various pressure vessels and pipes processed with thin plates.

3105 Room dividers, baffles, movable room panels, gutters and downspouts, sheet metal forming parts, bottle caps, bottle stoppers, etc.

5A05 Welded structural parts, aircraft skin skeleton.

5A06 Welded structure, cold forged parts, welded and drawn container stress parts, aircraft skin bone parts.

5A12 Welded Structural Parts, Bulletproof Deck.

6005 Extruded profiles and pipes are used for structural parts that require strength and height greater than 6063 alloys, such as ladders, TV antennas, etc.

6061 requires various industrial structures with certain strength, weldability and high corrosion resistance, such as pipes, rods, shapes, plate.

6063 Building profiles, irrigation pipes and extruded materials for vehicles, benches, furniture, fences, etc.

7075-T6 alloy, while the toughness is slightly higher.

5005 is similar to 3003 alloy, with moderate strength and good corrosion resistance. Used as conductors, cookware, instrument panels, shells and architectural trim. The anodized film is brighter than the oxide film on the 3003 alloy and harmonizes with the tone of the 6063 alloy.
