Aluminum Alloy 201

  • The aluminum 201 alloy with the T7 temper meets the requirements for ultimate strength (67 vs 50 ksi) and yield strength (60 vs 40ksi), but fails to provide the required elongation (4.5% vs 5%).

  • In addition, the alloy has poorer than desirable weldability, machinability, corrosion resistance, and castability.

The 201 alloy is not the best choice.
