Alloys
Depending on the alloying elements, there are different aluminium grades. All grades have particular properties and characteristics which is why aluminium is considered to be an extremely versatile metal.
More information about the most widespread grades can be found below. These are also the grades that are predominantly stored at Jeleznik-M. However, any other grade can be supplied on clients’ request:

|
1050/ Al99.5/ A91050 |
1050 is among the most widely used alloys of aluminium for general sheet metal work where moderate strength is required. it is usually formed by extrusion or rolling .1050 is preferred because of its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, electrical conductivity, workability and highly reflective finish. |
|
|
5754/ Al Mg3/ Al 3.1Mg Mn Cr |
5754 has excellent corrosion resistance especially to seawater and industrially polluted atmospheres. It can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging, but not casting. It can also be cold worked to produce tempers with a higher strength but a lower ductility. |
|
|
6060/ ASTM B221 |
6060 is a heat treatable alloy with medium strength. It has very good corrosion resistance and very good weldability plus good cold formability .It can be formed by extrusion, forging or rolling, but it is not used in casting. |
