Aluminum Alloy Spec Table
Aluminum Alloy KS Specifications — 3 sizes
KS D 6701
Aluminum alloys offering light weight, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Common grades (A6061, A5052) used in aerospace, automotive, and electronics.
Practical Notes
- A5052 excels in sheet metal formability; A6061-T6 offers structural strength. Select alloy by application.
- Aluminum corrodes galvanically when touching steel. Block contact with insulating washers or coatings.
