just thought i'd share a nice page with Ally info
http://shopswarf.orcon.net.nz/alalloy.html
Aluminum alloys grouped by major alloying elements
2XXX Copper (Cu).
3XXX Manganese (Mn)
4XXX Silicon (Si)
5XXX Magnesium (Mg)
6XXX Magnesium and Silicon (Mg and Si)
7XXX Zinc (Zn)
8XXX Other elements
so whenever someone talks about an 7000 series alloy with a T6 treatment, you have half an idea of what they are talkign about
to find information on a specific alloy, go to
http://www.matweb.com/search/SearchSubcat.asp?st=s c&catid=352#nfm
and click on "find" down at 'non-ferrous metals'"aluminium alloy"
there's about 1200 alloys listed.
