First of all, the commonly used aluminum materials on the market are 6061 and 7075.
The tensile strength of 6061 aluminum is about 350MPa, and the tensile strength of 7075 aluminum can reach 570MPa. The tensile strength of ordinary carbon steel is about 400-500MPa. So at present, 7075 aluminum is as strong as steel. In addition, according to different use environments, there are other grades of aluminum alloys, such as 5083 aluminum alloy, which can completely solve the corrosion problem when used in marine environments. Steel has very high strength. It is an alloy composed of iron and carbon. Through a specific smelting process, the carbon content and the content of other alloying elements in the steel can be adjusted to obtain the desired physical and chemical properties. This makes steel a very hard and durable material, which is widely used in construction, automobiles, bridges and other fields that need to bear heavy loads.
Of course, the hardness of stainless steel and forged aluminum varies depending on the material, process and composition. Generally speaking, stainless steel has a higher hardness and better wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Forged aluminum has better strength and ductility. Therefore, the specific hardness depends on the specific material and process.
