Which aluminium alloy is best for structural applications?

The 6000-series alloys (6061, 6063, 6082) are ideal for structural applications. They offer an excellent balance between strength, corrosion resistance, and workability.

When should I use 7000-series aluminium?

7000-series aluminium is ideal for applications requiring the highest strength, such as aerospace and high-performance automotive. It offers the best strength-to-weight ratio.

Which alloy is best for marine applications?

The 5000-series alloys offer excellent saltwater resistance and are therefore ideal for marine applications such as shipbuilding and offshore constructions.
