Second, the 2000 series aluminum representatives 2A16 (LY16), 2A12 (LY12), 2A06 (LY6). 2000 series aluminum is characterized by high hardness.

Third, the 3000 series aluminum representatives 3003 3A21. Also known as rust-proof aluminum of 3000 series aluminum production process is more outstanding.

Fourth, the 4000 series aluminum representatives 4A01. 4000 series aluminum belong to a series of high silicon content.

Fifth, the 5000 series represents 5052, 5005, 5083, 5A05 series.

Six, 6000 series represents the main two elements containing magnesium and silicon, it is focused on the 4000 series and 5000 series benefits, 6061 is a cold finished aluminum wrought products.

Seven,7000 series is more commonly used for the 7011. Other series 7000 series represents 7075 containing mainly zinc.

Eight, 8000 series is more commonly used for the 8011 series.
