Wrought alloys

2000 series are alloyed with copper, can be precipitation hardened to strengths comparable to steel. Formerly referred to as duralumin, they were once the most common aerospace alloys,
but were susceptible to stress corrosion cracking and are increasingly replaced by 7000 series in new designs.

are alloyed with magnesium and silicon, are easy to machine, and can be precipitation hardened, but not to the high strengths that 2000 and 7000 can reach.
are alloyed with zinc, and can be precipitation hardened to the highest strengths of any aluminium alloy.
is a category mainly used for lithium alloys.
