  7. Heat-Treatable Alloys Can obtain increased strength levels through precipitation hardening Typical hardening additions include copper, magnesium, zinc and silicon These additions show increasing solid solubility with increasing temperature Alloys of this type include the 2000, 6000 and 7000 series Non-Heat-Treatable Alloys Strengthened by work-hardening and solid solution strengthening Elements such as manganese, silicon, iron and magnesium are typical solid-solution hardening agents Alloys of this type include the 1000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series Classification of Aluminum Alloys
