1xxx Series

Grade: 1060, 1100, 1230

1xxx Series Alloys – (non-heat treatable – with ultimate tensile strength of 10 to 27 ksi) this series is often

referred to as the pure aluminum series because it is required to have 99.0% minimum aluminum. They are

weldable. However, because of their narrow melting range, they require certain considerations in order to

produce acceptable welding procedures. When considered for fabrication, these alloys are selected primarily

for their superior corrosion resistance such as in specialized chemical tanks and piping, or for their excellent

electrical conductivity as in bus bar applications. These alloys have relatively poor mechanical properties and

would seldom be considered for general structural applications. These base alloys are often welded with matching

filler material or with 4xxx filler alloys dependent on application and performance requirements.

2xxx Series

Grade: 2014, 2024, 2124, 2219

2xxx Series Alloys – (heat treatable– with ultimate tensile strength of 27 to 62 ksi) these are aluminum / copper

alloys (copper additions ranging from 0.7 to 6.8%), and are high strength, high performance alloys that are often

used for aerospace and aircraft applications. They have excellent strength over a wide range of temperature.

Some of these alloys are considered non-weldable by the arc welding processes because of their susceptibility

to hot cracking and stress corrosion cracking; however, others are arc welded very successfully with the correct

welding procedures. These base materials are often welded with high strength 2xxx series filler alloys designed

to match their performance, but can sometimes be welded with the 4xxx series fillers containing silicon or silicon

and copper, dependent on the application and service requirements.

3xxx Series

Grade: 3003, 3004, 3005, 3105

3xxx Series Alloys – (non-heat treatable – with ultimate tensile strength of 16 to 41 ksi) These are the aluminum

/ manganese alloys (manganese additions ranging from 0.05 to 1.8%) and are of moderate strength, have good

corrosion resistance, good formability and are suited for use at elevated temperatures. One of their first uses was

pots and pans, and they are the major component today for heat exchangers in vehicles and power plants. Their

moderate strength, however, often precludes their consideration for structural applications. These base alloys are

welded with 1xxx, 4xxx and 5xxx series filler alloys, dependent on their specific chemistry and particular application

and service requirements.

5xxx Series

Grade: 5005, 5010, 5050, 5052, 5059, 5083, 5086, 5154, 5252, 5254, 5454, 5456, 5457, 5657, 5754

5xxx Series Alloys – (non-heat treatable – with ultimate tensile strength of 18 to 51 ksi) These are the aluminum /

magnesium alloys (magnesium additions ranging from 0.2 to 6.2%) and have the highest strength of the non-heat

treatable alloys. In addition, this alloy series is readily weldable, and for these reasons they are used for a wide variety

of applications such as shipbuilding, transportation, pressure vessels, bridges and buildings. The magnesium base

alloys are often welded with filler alloys, which are selected after consideration of the magnesium content of the base

material, and the application and service conditions of the welded component. Alloys in this series with more than 3.0%

magnesium are not recommended for elevated temperature service above 150 deg F because of their potential for

sensitization and subsequent susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking. Base alloys with less than approximately 2.5%

magnesium are often welded successfully with the 5xxx or 4xxx series filler alloys. The base alloy 5052 is generally

recognized as the maximum magnesium content base alloy that can be welded with a 4xxx series filler alloy. Because of

problems associated with eutectic melting and associated poor as-welded mechanical properties, it is not recommended

to weld material in this alloy series, which contain higher amounts of magnesium with the 4xxx series fillers. The higher

magnesium base materials are only welded with 5xxx filler alloys, which generally match the base alloy composition.

6xxx Series

Grade: 6003, 6013, 6061

6XXX Series Alloys – (heat treatable – with ultimate tensile strength of 18 to 58 ksi) These are the aluminum /

magnesium - silicon alloys (magnesium and silicon additions of around 1.0%) and are found widely throughout the welding

fabrication industry, used predominantly in the form of extrusions, and incorporated in many structural components. The

addition of magnesium and silicon to aluminum produces a compound of magnesium-silicide, which provides this material

its ability to become solution heat treated for improved strength. These alloys are naturally solidification crack sensitive,

and for this reason, they should not be arc welded autogenously (without filler material). The addition of adequate amounts

of filler material during the arc welding process is essential in order to provide dilution of the base material, thereby preventing

the hot cracking problem. They are welded with both 4xxx and 5xxx filler materials, dependent on the application and service

requirements.

7xxx Series

Grade: 7072, 7075

7XXX Series Alloys – (heat treatable – with ultimate tensile strength of 32 to 88 ksi) These are the aluminum / zinc alloys

(zinc additions ranging from 0.8 to 12.0%) and comprise some of the highest strength aluminum alloys. These alloys are

often used in high performance applications such as aircraft, aerospace, and competitive sporting equipment. Like the 2xxx

series of alloys, this series incorporates alloys which are considered unsuitable candidates for arc welding, and others, which

are often arc welded successfully. The commonly welded alloys in this series, such as 7005, are predominantly welded with the

5xxx series filler alloys.
