Aluminum 2011 is a popular age-hardenable alloy known for its free-machining characteristics and mechanical properties. It can be machined to very close tolerances while still maintaining a smooth and bright finish.
Unlike other aluminum alloys, 2011 does not offer good corrosion resistance or weldability.
Because of its benefits, Aluminum 2011 is found in use for a number of different applications including:
- Automatic screw machine parts
- Precision gears
- Machine parts,
- Atomizer and hose parts
- Pipe stems
- TV fittings
- Auto-fuel system components
- Clock parts
- Tube fittings
- Camera parts
- Industrial connectors
- Speedometer components
Aluminum 2011 has a unique chemical composition that includes:
- Al 93.7%
- Cu 5.5%
- Bi 0.4%
- Pb 0.4%
