EN AW-1050A
3.0255Commercially pure aluminum (99.5% Al minimum). Excellent corrosion resistance, highest thermal and electrical conductivity among Al alloys, and outstanding formability. Low strength (UTS ~100 MPa annealed) limits structural use. Non-heat-treatable — strengthened only by cold work (H14/H24 tempers). Used for chemical processing equipment, food packaging foil, reflectors, heat exchangers, electrical busbars, capacitor foils, and architectural cladding/roofing. The baseline aluminum for conductivity applications.

EN AW-6082
3.2315High-strength structural aluminium alloy in the Al-Mg-Si family. One of the strongest 6xxx series alloys due to manganese addition. Replaced 6061 in many European applications. Used for trusses, bridges, cranes, transport, scaffolding, and marine applications. Heat treatable (T6/T651).
EN AW-5083
3.3547The highest-strength non-heat-treatable aluminium alloy. Excellent corrosion resistance (especially seawater), good weldability. Standard alloy for shipbuilding, offshore, pressure vessels, cryogenic applications, and armour plate. Not for continuous service above 65°C under stress (SCC risk).
EN AW-2024
3.1355Classic high-strength aerospace aluminium alloy (Al-Cu-Mg). Excellent fatigue resistance — the standard choice for aircraft fuselage skins and wing tension members. Poor corrosion resistance and weldability. Often supplied with Alclad cladding for corrosion protection. In use since 1931.
