1050/1070/1200 (Pure Aluminium)
This alloy is the standard aluminium alloy for construction applications in light environment, not subject to heavy corrosion attacks. Used for strip in coil, sheet, circles, tubes and wire.
- easy to form, mechanically or manually
- swaging and deep drawing quality
- low tensile, but high elongations
- excellent anodising quality
- weldable
 
3003 (AlMn)
This alloy is the slightly stronger aluminium alloy for construction applications in medium environment, hardly corrosion resistant. Used for strip in coil, sheet, circles, tubes and wire.
- easy to form, mechanically or manually
- low to average tensile
- reasonable anodising quality
- weldability average
5050/5052 (AlMg..)
The alloy contains a minimum of Magnesium, which gives it a better corrosion resistance and makes it stronger. Used in rolled products, as well as tubes and wire
- medium strength for more demanding constructions or applications
- usable in seawater and chemically aggresive conditions
- mechanical formability excellent
- weldable
2011
This alloy performs outstandingly on high speed automatic lathes, especially multi spindles with the following advantages:
- easy machining with any equipment
- cutting tension is lower than in most alloys
- machined items can be finished to better tolerances
- longer life of cutting tools
- better, and cleaner surface finish
- cutting area selfcleaning due to free chipping quality
- high mechanical properties
2014/2017/2024
This kind of alloy is selected when high mechanical properties are required.
- performs better on automatic lathes
- higher productivity
6026
6026 has been developed successfully by Eural to replace the former AlMgSiPb-alloys 6012 and 6262.
Especially for the automotive and those products which have to be both machined and anodized.
In many cases, 6026 can even replace the alloys 6060 and 6082.
6026 applies to the newest RoHS-regulations (max. 0,4% Pb) which norms are in force since 1st of July 2008
6082
This alloy has generally fair mechanical properties, but is normally produced as an extrusion, rather than a bar.
- difficult to machine on automatic lathes
- is often used for forging applications
- used for construction and technical applaications
7075
This is the strongest and hardest alloy we can offer
- primarily used in aircraft and defence industry
- for structural parts with high mechanical requirements
- machinability is good
- corrosion resistance is fair, sometimes poor
6060/6063
Two exchangeable general construction alloys for general engineering and building profiles with relatively low mechanical.properties.
- technical and decorative anodising quality
- bendable quality available
- machines only with long curls
- easily machinable for swageing purposes
