Aluminum Alloys - Mechanical Properties

Mechanical properties of aluminum alloys - tensile strength, yield strength and more.

Aluminum alloys are divided into the wrought and cast categories according to how they are produced.

The wrought category includes rolling, extruding, drawing, forging, and a number of other more specialized processes. Cast alloys are poured molten into sand (sand casting) or high-strength steel (permanent mold or die casting) molds where they solidifies to produce the desired shape.
