Las aleaciones de aluminio recubiertas de color pueden variar según la aplicación deseada y el color específico requerido. Generalmente, aleaciones de aluminio en el 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx series are most commonly used for color coated aluminum.
Las aleaciones de la serie 1xxx son de aluminio puro y tienen una excelente resistencia a la corrosión y buena trabajabilidad.. Sin embargo, son blandos y no aptos para aplicaciones donde se requiere alta resistencia.
The 3xxx series alloys, such as 3003 and 3105, have moderate strength and good workability. They are often used for roofing, siding, and other architectural applications.
The 5xxx series alloys, such as 5052 and 5083, have high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in marine and automotive applications.
In addition to the alloy selection, the choice of coating also plays an important role in the final appearance and performance of the color-coated aluminum. Poliéster, poliuretano, and fluorocarbon coatings are commonly used for color-coated aluminum.
