M6
: "Aluminum Cast Plate produced by Alcoa. Using proper aluminum machining methods, tolerances in the thousandths can be consistently maintained. MIC 6® Aluminum Cast Plate is finished to 20 microinches typical on both sides. Thickness tolerances is within +/-.005"" from nominal on 1/4""- 4"".Flatness tolerance is maintained within .015"" on 1/4""-5/8"" thickness and .005"" on 3/4""- 4"" thickness. Thermal Cycling can be performed up to 800° F under controlled conditions.
3003H14
: Its good weldability/formability and very good corrosion resistance lead to applications such as food and chemical handling, tanks, trim, litho sheet, pressure vessels, and piping.
5052H32
: This alloy has good workability, very good corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, weldability, and moderate strength. This leads to its use in aircraft fuel/oil lines, fuel tanks, other transportation areas, sheet metal work, appliances and lighting, wire, and rivets.
2024T3
: One of the most widely used aluminum alloys, it finds applications in a variety of structural areas such as aircraft structures, fasteners, hardware, wheels, screw machine products. 2024 exhibits poor corrosion resistance for an aluminum alloy.
