Wrought aluminum alloys are suitable for rolling, extruding, forging, stamping and so on. Due to the proportions of different alloy elements, it can be differed from the physical property, the chemical property,the mechanical property, and ranges of applications. It can also be mainly divided into two categories:

1000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 series alloys are included. Reaching the reinforcement effect by solution strengthening, strain hardening, and dispersion strengthening. The strengths of all series are achieving the medium-low level. In addition to having higher strength (below 400MPa) than 3000 series (Al-Mn) and 4000 series (Al-Si),the better corrosion resistance, weldability, and workability for 5000 series (Al-Mg) as well.

2000, 6000, and 7000 series alloys are included. The reinforcement effect is mainly applied by precipitation strengthening. The highest strength of all series is 7000 series (Al-Zn-Mg, Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) which could reach 660MPa, then goes to 2000 series (Al-Cu, Al-Cu-Mg, Al-Cu-Mg-Si). Moreover, the strength of 6000 series is the lowest. However, AL 6030 is widely applied due to its good extruability, elongatability, corrosion resistance and surface-treatability (e.g. anodizing).
