Is the Weldability of the Aluminum an important factor?
Alloy 1100 – Excellent Weldability.
Alloy 2011 – Poor Weldability.
Alloy 2024 – Poor Weldability.
Alloy 3003 – Excellent Weldability.
Alloy 5052 – Good Weldability.
Alloy 6061 – Good Weldability.
Alloy 6063 – Good Weldability.
Alloy 7075 – Poor Weldability
6000 series are alloyed with magnesium and silicon. They are easy to machine, are weldable, and can be precipitation hardened, but not to the high strengths that 2000 and 7000 can reach. 6061 alloy is one of the most commonly used general-purpose aluminium alloys.
Magnesium is the primary alloying agent in the 5xxx series and is one of the most effective and widely used alloying elements for aluminum. Alloys in this series possess moderate to high strength characteristics, as well as good weldablility and resistance to corrosion in the marine environment
