What are the uses and classification of aluminum coil

May. 28, 2020

Aluminum coils are widely used in electronics, packaging, construction, machinery, etc. What are the uses of aluminum coils? What are the classifications of aluminum coils? Aluminum coil manufacturers answer your questions. We are a comprehensive enterprise specializing in the production, sales and transportation of non-ferrous metals.

I believe everyone is more interested in issues related to the classification of aluminum coils. According to the different metal elements contained in aluminum coils, aluminum coils can be divided into 9 categories, that is, they can be divided into 9 series.

Let me introduce you step by step: 

1. 1000 series

Stands for the 1000 series aluminum coil, also known as pure aluminum coil. Among all the series, the 1000 series belongs to the series with the most aluminum content. The purity can reach more than 99.00%. Because it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple and the price is relatively cheap. It is currently the most commonly used series in conventional industry.

2. 2000 series

On behalf of 2A16 (LY16) 2A06 (LY6) 2000 series aluminum coil is characterized by high hardness, of which the content of copper is the highest, about 3-5%. 2000 series aluminum coils are aviation aluminum materials and are not commonly used in conventional industries.

 

3. 3000 series 

Represents 3003, 3003, 3A21 mainly. It can also be called anti-rust aluminum coil. China's 3000 series aluminum coil production process is excellent. 3000 series aluminum coil is made of manganese as the main component. The content is between 1.0-1.5. It is a series with good anti-rust function. It is commonly used in air conditioners, refrigerators, under-vehicles and other humid environments. The price is higher than the 1000 series.

 

4. 4000 series

The aluminum coil represented by 4A01 4000 series belongs to the series with higher silicon content. The silicon content is usually between 4.5-6.0%. It belongs to construction materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, welding materials; low melting point, good corrosion resistance.

5. 5000 series

Represents the 5052.5005.5083.5A05 series. The 5000 series aluminum coil belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminum coil series, the main element is magnesium, and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. It can also be called aluminum-magnesium alloy.

 

6. 6000 series 

Stands for 6061, which mainly contains two elements, magnesium and silicon. Therefore, the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series are concentrated. 6061 is a cold-processed aluminum forged product, suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

 

7. 7000 series

On behalf of 7075 mainly contains zinc. It also belongs to the aviation series. It is an aluminum-magnesium-zinc-copper alloy and a heat-treatable alloy. It is a super-hard aluminum alloy and has good wear resistance.

8. 8000 series

Is more commonly used as 8011 and belongs to other series. Most applications are aluminum foil. Not very common.

 

9. 9000 series

Belongs to the spare series. The International Federation of Aluminum Coils and Tapes specifically states that the 9000 series is the spare series.

 

Aluminum coil manufacturers are devoted to the production, sales and transportation of non-ferrous metals. In this society with rapid economic development, we will work with you to achieve success together.
