Alloy Designation System for Wrought Sheet Products
cut aluminium alloy sheet products are identified by a four-digit numerical system which is administered by the Aluminum Association. The alloys are conveniently divided into eight groups based on their principal alloying element. The first digit identifies the alloy group as follows:

ALLOY GROUP

PRINCIPAL ALLOYING ELEMENT

 

1xxx

Unalloyed Aluminum

Purity of 99.0% or Greater

2xxx

Copper

Heat Treatable Alloys

3xxx

Manganese

 

4xxx

Silicon

Low Melting Point Alloys

5xxx

Magnesium

 

6xxx

Magnesium and Silicon

Heat Treatable Alloys

7xxx

Zinc

Heat Treatable Alloys

8xxx

Other Elements

 

The last two digits in the 1xxx group correspond with the two digits after the decimal which indicate the minimum aluminum content. For example the aluminum content of 1060 is 99.60% minimum, 1100 is 99.00% minimum, 1350 is 99.50% minimum and so on.

The last two digits of the other groups are sequential numbers issued by the Aluminum Association to ensure each alloy is uniquely identified.

The second digit in all the groups indicates a minor modification of the basic alloy. For instance, 5252 is the second modification of 5052 alloy.
