The versatility of aluminum wrought alloy products is continually demonstrated by their capacity to serve satisfactorily as a material of construction in such diverse engineering and commercial applications as aircraft structures, extruded architectural structures, and food processing equipment. The unique combination of properties make it an indispensable family of alloys for a myriad of applications. Among these properties are: low specific gravity; excellent corrosion resistance; ease of forming and fabricating; high thermal and electrical conductivity; non-magnetic and non-sparking characteristics; and high reflectivity across a broad spectral range.

One of aluminum’s most valued properties is the high strength-to-weight ratio which results from its low density and relatively high mechanical properties, whether by precipitation (age) hardening the heat treatable alloys or work hardening the non-heat treatable alloys. Many of aluminums best properties are present in both classes of materials and to achieve optimum performance in service before selecting the material consideration should be given to both the capabilities and limitations of each alloy and temper and the processing operations necessary to produce the finished article.
