| Material Category | Common Grade Examples | Welding Characteristics & Challenges | Primary Application Areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Carbon Steel (Cold/Hot Rolled) |
DC04, DC06 (Eur. Std.); SPCC, SPCE (JIS) |
Cost-Effectiveness & High Formability: Low cost with excellent ductility, suitable for deep drawing and complex bending. Strength can be increased via work hardening. | Automotive structural parts, appliance housings, general hardware. |
| Stainless Steel |
Austenitic: 304/304L, 316/316L;
Ferritic: 430, 409;
Martensitic: 440C
|
Corrosion Resistance & Versatility:
• 304/316: Good overall properties, corrosion resistance, weldability.
• 430: Lower cost (nickel-free), magnetic.
• 440C/17-4PH: High strength/hardness achievable via heat treatment.
|
Food equipment (304/316), architectural(430), medical devices/tools (440C), auto exhaust systems (409). |
| HSS & AHSS | DP (Dual-Phase), CP (Complex-Phase), TRIP (Transformation-Induced Plasticity), MS (Martensitic) Steel | Safety & Lightweighting: High strength combined with good stamping formability. Key for automotive lightweighting and crash safety. | Automotive safety components (A/B-pillars, bumpers, door reinforcements). |
| Aluminum Alloys |
Non-Heat-Treatable: 1xxx (Pure Al), 3xxx (Al-Mn);
Heat-Treatable: 5xxx (Al-Mg), 6xxx (Al-Mg-Si), 2xxx (Al-Cu, e.g., 2024)
|
Lightweighting & Corrosion Resistance:
• 5xxx series: Excellent formability, weldability, and corrosion resistance.
• 6xxx series: Good formability; strength increases after paint-bake hardening. Common for auto panels.
• 2xxx series: Very high strength but lower corrosion resistance.
|
Auto body panels (6xxx), fuel tanks (5xxx), aerospace structures (2xxx), beverage cans, heat sinks. |
| Copper, Brass, Bronze | C11000 (Pure Copper), C26000 (Cartridge Brass), C51900 (Phosphor Bronze) | Conductivity & Aesthetics: • Pure Copper: Excellent electrical/thermal conductivity.
• Brass: Good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, machinability.
• Phosphor Bronze: Higher elasticity, wear/fatigue resistance.
|
Electrical connectors, terminals, lead frames, decorative parts, springs, bushings. |
| Pre-coated/Plated Steels | Galvanized (GI, GA), Aluzinc (GL), Pre-painted (PPGI/PPGL) |
Durability & Readiness: Base steel provides strength; coating (Zn, Al, organic) provides corrosion resistance, appearance, or special functions (e.g., fingerprint-resistant). Ready-to-use |
Building roofs/walls, appliance housings (e.g., outdoor AC units), automotive fuel tanks. |
| Non-Metallic/Composites | Engineering Plastics: PEEK (e.g., 770G), PPA (e.g., Carbon Fiber-reinforced PPA), Polyamide Alloy |
Functional Integration & Metal Replacement:
• PEEK: High-temp and chemical resistance, high mechanical strength for extreme environments.
• Carbon Fiber PPA: High strength/stiffness, lightweight, can replace Al/Mg.
• Polyamide Alloy: Good dimensional stability, chemical resistance, high processing efficiency.
|
Precision gears/bearings (PEEK), automotive structures (CF-PPA), fluid conduits (Polyamide Alloy), consumer electronics housings. |
