Alloy | Temp Resistance (°C) | Hardness (HB) | Cost | Common Applications | Surface Treatment Limitations | Key Features |
6061-T6 | ~150°C (Peak 250°C) | 95 | $$$ | Automotive, Aerospace, Structural Parts | Poor anodizing for black coloring | Versatile, good corrosion resistance, moderate strength |
7075-T6 | ~120°C (Peak ~200°C) | 150 | $$$$ | Aerospace, Defense, Racing | Not weldable, limited electroplating | Very high strength, low weldability, lower corrosion resistance |
5052 | ~65–100°C | 60-70 | $$ | Marine, Automotive Panels, Enclosures | None significant | Excellent corrosion resistance, great formability and weldability |
5083 | ~65–100°C | 75–85 | $$$ | Marine, Pressure Vessels | Not suitable for high-heat welding | Superior saltwater resistance, ideal for harsh environments |
6060 | ~150°C | 60 | $$ | Architecture, Appliances | Lower strength not for high-load parts | Good extrudability, great surface finish |
6063 | ~150°C | 55–60 | $$ | Decorative Frames, Windows | Excellent for anodizing and dyeing | Aesthetic finish, corrosion-resistant, lower strength |
6082 | ~150°C | 95–100 | $$$ | Construction, Transport, Bridges | Poor small-radius bending | High strength and corrosion resistance, European standard choice |
2017 | ~120°C | 105 | $$$$ | Aerospace Fittings, Structural Parts | Poor weldability, weak corrosion resistance | High strength, good machinability, responsive to heat treatment |
Anodizing Increases corrosion resistance, improves appearance | May not be uniform on complex geometries. | 6061, 5052, 6063, 6082 |
Bead blasting Creates a matte or satin texture | Slight surface erosion, not protective alone. | All aluminum alloys |
Polishing For high-gloss or reflective parts | Surface is prone to scratches, not protective. | 6061, 6063 |
Chromate coating Adds light corrosion protection | Limited wear resistance, not decorative. | 5052, 6061, 7075 |
Painting or Powder Coating Improves durability and color | Adds thickness, not ideal for tight tolerance features. | Most alloys, especially 6061, 5052 |
