Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in Earth’s crust. Its lightness, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and low melting point provide it with a wide range of applications. Some of its characteristics are:
- High malleability;
- Antimagnetic properties;
- High electrical and thermal conductivity;
- High corrosion resistance;
- Infinitely recyclable.
The density of aluminum is about one-third that of steel or copper. It is very malleable and an excellent choice for machining and casting.

Notes:
1. The indicated values do not imply a formal guarantee.
2. Stress data are expressed in megapascal units (Mpa), equivalent to 1N/mm2. To obtain the unit measurement in kgf/mm2, the indicated value is divided by 9.807. Classification of Tempers:
O – Annealed: Applies to finished products in the state in which they have the lowest mechanical resistance value.
H – Hardened: Applies to products made of non-heat-treatable alloys, that is, alloys where the increase in mechanical resistance is achieved only by cold plastic deformation (hardening).
F – As Manufactured: Applies to products obtained through forming processes in which no special control is used over the thermal or work hardening conditions. Limits are not specified for the mechanical properties.
T – Heat Treated: Applies to products that undergo heat treatment with or without complementary plastic deformation, which produces stable physical properties different from those obtained with “F”, “O”, and “H”.
3. For alloys with an H114 temper, use the limits specified in the “O” temper.
4. For alloys with an H154 temper, use the limits specified in the “H14” temper.
5. For rolled materials, the elongation values correspond to thicknesses from 0.63 to 1.20m.
6. Mechanical Properties according to the ABNT-NBR 7823 (rolled) and ABNT-NBR 7000:2005 (extruded) standards.
| Alloy | Density at 20 °C (p=Specific Weight) (g/cm³) | Melting Temperature (°C) | Specific Heat 0 to 100 °C (cal/g °C) | Coefficient of Thermal Expansion at 20° to 100°C (10-6°C) | Thermal Conductivity at 25 °C (cal/cm/cm²/sec °C) | Electrical Conductivity at 20 °C (% IACS) | Modulus of Elasticity (MPA) | Modulus of Rigidity (MPA) |
