2. Aluminum alloys
For the purposes of this dossier, it is advisable to limit our discussion of their weldability by grouping them into the following families.
For more information, readers can refer to the files in our collection on aluminium alloy metallurgy.
2.1 Wrought alloys
These alloys are intended for the manufacture of products obtained by plastic deformation through rolling, extrusion, drawing or forging. They are given a four-digit numerical designation, and can be subdivided into two categories according to their hardening mode.
Wrought alloys for general applications are defined in a number of standard documents, including: NF EN 485-2 (plates), NF EN 586-2 (forgings), NF EN 754-2 (drawn bars and tubes), NF EN 755-2 (extruded bars, tubes and profiles), NF EN 1592-2 (HF electrowelded...
