aluminium alloy sheet manufacturers in indiaDESIGNATIONS
Alloy Designation System for Wrought Sheet Products
aluminium alloy sheet manufacturers in india 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.
