Aluminum does not have one hardness value. Its hardness depends on the alloy, temper, product form, and test method. In

The density of solid aluminum at room temperature is about 2.70 g/cm³. That equals 2,700 kg/m³, 0.0975 lb/in³, or 168.6

Pure aluminum has a thermal conductivity of about 235–237 W/m·K near room temperature. That equals roughly 136–137 Btu/(h·ft·°F). The widely

The tensile strength of aluminum is not one fixed number. It ranges from about 60 MPa for soft 1xxx-series material

The specific heat capacity of aluminum is about 897 J/(kg·K) at room temperature. The same value is 0.897 J/(g·K) or

5052 and 6061 solve different manufacturing problems. Choose 5052-H32 for formed sheet, welded enclosures, and demanding corrosion exposure. Choose 6061-T6

Young’s modulus, also called the modulus of elasticity, measures a material’s resistance to elastic deformation under tensile or compressive loading.

Aluminum yield strength is the stress level where an aluminum material starts to deform permanently. Below that point, the part

Aluminum and titanium are both used when weight matters. Aluminum is lighter, easier to machine, easier to source, and usually
