This grade is one of the most common alloys of aluminium. It is very widly used in many industries as well as for general purpose usage. It offers good weldabily, good corrosion resistance, workability and machinablity. It is one of the most common grades for extrusion, but its mechanical properties makes it ideal for many others applications.
