EN 573-3 AW-2011 T8 Aluminum Alloy – High-Performance Machining & Strength

Aluminum EN AW-2011 is a popular age-hardenable alloy known for its free-machining characteristics and mechanical properties. It can be machined to very close tolerances while still maintaining a smooth and bright finish. Unlike other aluminum alloys, EN AW-2011 does not offer good corrosion resistance or weldability.
