1100
1100 aluminium alloy is analumunium –based alloy in the “commercially pure” wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). With a minimum of 99.0% aluminum, it is the most heavily alloyed of the 1000 series. It is also the mechanically strongest alloy in the series, and is the only 1000-series alloy commonly used in rivets. At the same time, it keeps the benefits of being relatively lightly alloyed (compared to other series), such as high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability. It can be strengthened by cold working, but not by heat treatment.
Applications:
- Fin stock
- Heat exchanger fins
- Spun hollowware
- Dials and name plates
- Decorative parts,
- Giftware
- Cooking utensils
- Rivets and reflectors

5083
5083 aluminiumalloy is an aluminium alloy with magnesium and traces of manganese and chromium. 5083 is known for exceptional performance in extreme environments such as seawater and industrial chemical environments. Italso retains exceptional strength after welding. It has the highest strength of the non-heat treatable alloys but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65°C.
Applications:
- Shipbuilding
- Rail car
- Vehicle body
- Tip truck body
- Mine skip and cage

6063
6063 aluminium alloy is an aluminium alloy with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. It has generally good mechanical properties and is heat treatable and weldable. 6063 is the most common alloy used for aluminium extrusion. It allows complex shapes to be formed with very smooth surfaces fit for anodizing and so is popular for visible architectural Applications.
Applications:
- Window frames
- Door frames
- Roofs
- Sign Frames
- Furnitures
- Architectural products

7075
7075 aluminiumalloy is an aluminium alloy with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties, and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness and good resistance to fatigue. It is more susceptible to embrittlement than many other aluminium alloys because of micro segregation, but has significantly better corrosion resistance than the 2000 alloys. It is one of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for highly stressed structural Applications, and has been extensively utilized in aircraft structural parts.
Applications:
- Mold tool manufacturing
- Aircraft spare parts
- Marine spare parts
- Automotive spare parts
