Overview

ASTM B221-21, published by ASTM International, provides the standard specification for aluminum and aluminum-alloy extruded bars, rods, wire, profiles, and tubes. This specification establishes requirements for products produced by hot extrusion or similar processes from both aluminum and a wide variety of aluminum alloys. ASTM B221-21 is essential to industries where precision, performance, and consistent material quality of extruded aluminum shapes are critical.

The standard details the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and temper designation for each alloy and product type. It ensures that manufacturers and end-users have a clearly defined framework for ordering, producing, and verifying aluminum and aluminum-alloy extrusions.

Key Topics

  • Product Coverage: Includes extruded bars, rods, wires, profiles, and tubes made from aluminum and aluminum alloys by hot extrusion and related processes.
  • Chemical Composition: Defines permissible alloying elements and composition limits, referencing the "International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys" as the controlling authority.
  • Mechanical Properties: Specifies tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation requirements for various products and alloy-temper combinations. Special provisions are included for product dimensions and small cross-sections.
  • Temper Designations: Alloy and temper are designated in line with ANSI H35.1/H35.1M, using unified numbering for consistency.
  • Order Requirements: Outlines necessary ordering information, including designation, alloy, temper, dimensions, and any extra requirements such as special heat treatments or inspections.
  • Referenced Methods: Identifies relevant test methods for chemical and mechanical analysis (e.g., spectrometry, alloy numbering, and tension testing).
  • Use Limitations: Distinguishes general-purpose extrusions from those intended for pressure or structural applications, directing users to other standards (such as ASTM B241/B241M) for seamless or pressure-containing tubes.

Applications

The ASTM B221-21 standard is widely used in industries and sectors that require reliable aluminum extrusion products with predictable performance characteristics:

  • Construction and Architecture: Structural frameworks, mullions, curtain walls, windows, and door profiles using specified aluminum extruded shapes for durability and lightweight performance.
  • Transportation: Components for automotive, rail, marine, and aerospace sectors such as chassis parts, structural supports, and lightweight frames.
  • Electrical: Bus-bars, conductors, and rods where defect-free extruded aluminum is essential for conductivity and safety.
  • Machinery and Equipment: Guide rails, machine frames, and general engineering components demanding precise tolerances and mechanical properties.
  • Consumer Goods: Extruded elements in furniture, sports equipment, and consumer appliances leveraging aluminum’s favorable strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

By following ASTM B221-21, manufacturers and end-users benefit from improved quality assurance, supply chain consistency, and global compatibility. The standard supports the use of aluminum extrusions in demanding and regulated environments through clear specifications and referenced quality assurance methods.

Related Standards

Several ASTM and associated standards complement or provide additional requirements to ASTM B221-21:

  • ASTM B211/B211M - Rolled or cold-finished aluminum bars and rods
  • ASTM B210/B210M - Drawn seamless tube for pressure applications
  • ASTM B241/B241M - Seamless pipe and tube for pressure service
  • ASTM B429/B429M - Structural pipe and tube
  • ASTM B234 - Tubes for heat exchangers and condensers
  • ANSI H35.1/H35.1M - Alloy and temper designations
  • AMS 2772 - Heat treatment of aluminum alloy raw materials

For fluid-carrying or pressure applications, users should refer to ASTM B210/B210M or B241/B241M for additional integrity and verification requirements, as ASTM B221-21 is intended primarily for general-purpose applications.


ASTM B221-21 maintains a critical role in ensuring the quality and performance of extruded aluminum products globally, providing a consistent reference for both manufacturers and users. Adhering to this standard supports product reliability, safety, and industry compliance.

A
Limits are in weight percent maximum unless shown as a range, or stated otherwise.
B
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
C
For the purpose of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the
last right-hand place of the figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
D
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallicOthers elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each, or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered
nonconforming.
E
Other Elements—Total shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
F
The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, roundedtothe
second decimal before determining the sum.
G
Be 0.0003 max for welding electrode, welding rod, and filler wire.
H
Upon agreement between the purchaser and the producer or supplier, a Zr + Ti limit of 0.20 % max is permitted. Properties in Specification (Table 2) are not based on
the Zirconium and Titanium algorithm.
I
Zirconium, 0.10–0.25 %. The total for other elements does not include zirconium.
J
Manganese plus chromium shall total 0.12–0.50.
K
Lead 0.05 % max, Tin 0.9–1.5 %.
L
Bismuth 0.50–1.5 %, Lead 0.4 % max, Tin 0.05 % max.
M
Bismuth 0.30–0.9 %, Tin 0.35–1.2 %.
N
Bismuth 0.20–0.8 % Lead 0.15–0.40 %.
O
In 1965 the requirements for 6062 were combined with those for 6061 by revising the minimum chromium from “0.15 %” to“ 0.04 %.” This action cancelled alloy 6062.
P
Bismuth 0.50–0.7 %, Lead 0.20–0.40 %,
Q
Bismuth and lead shall be 0.40–0.7 % each.
R
Zirconium 0.08–0.20 %. The total for other elements does not include zirconium.
S
Composition of cladding alloy applied during the course of manufacture. Samples from finished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.
T
Upon agreement between the purchaser and the producer or supplier, a Zr + Ti limit of 0.25 % max is permitted. Properties in Specification (Table 2) are not based on
the Zirconium and Titanium algorithm.
U
Gallium 0.03 % max.

Profiles, and Tubes
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B221; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers aluminum and aluminum-alloy extruded bars, rods, wire, profiles, and tubes in the aluminum alloys
(Note 1) and tempers shown in Table 2.
NOTE 1—Throughout this specification, the use of the term alloy in the general sense includes aluminum as well as aluminum alloy.
NOTE 2—For rolled or cold-finished bar and rod refer to Specification B211B211/B211M, for drawn seamless tube used in pressure applications,
Specification B210B210/B210M, for structural pipe and tube, Specification B429/B429M, and for seamless pipe and tube used in pressure applications,
Specification B241/B241M.
NOTE 3—Pipe and tube products listed in this specification are intended for general purpose applications. This specification may not address the
manufacturing processes, integrity testing, and verification required for fluid-carrying applications involving pressure. See Specifications B210B210/
B210M or B241/B241M, or both as appropriate, for seamless pipe and tube used in fluid-carrying applications involving pressure. See Specification B234,
as appropriate, for use in surface condensers, evaporators, and heat exchangers.
1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1/H35.1M. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy
designations are those of Table 1 preceded by A9; for example, A91100 for Aluminum 1100 in accordance with Practice E527.
1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.
1.4 A complete metric companion to Specification B221 has been developed—Specification B221M; therefore, no metric

4.2 Additionally, orders for material to this specification shall include the following information when required by the purchaser:
NOTE 5—For heat-treatable alloys, the default standard to follow for producing T3, T4, T6, T7, T8 and T9 tempers is AMS 2772. However, in the case
of most 6XXX and some 7XXX alloys (see 9.2 for list of alloys), the producer may choose to solution heat treat the product at the press in accordance
with Practice B807/B807M, as long as the purchaser does not specifically object to this practice in the purchasing agreement. Alternatively, heat treatment
may be accomplished in accordance with Practice B918/B918M instead of either of the previous options.
It is up to the purchaser to specify in the purchasing agreement if solution heat treatment at the press is not allowed and/or if heat treatment in
accordance with Practice B918/B918M is preferred. If the purchaser does not specify a preference for a heat treatment practice, Practice B807/B807M
willmay be used for any alloy listed in 9.2, and AMS 2772 willshall be the practice used for any other heat-treatable alloy.
4.2.1 Whether solution heat treatment at the press in accordance with Practice B807/B807M is unacceptable (9.2).
4.2.2 Whether heat treatment in accordance with Practice B918/B918M is preferred to the default practice, AMS 2772 (9.3).
4.2.3 Whether ultrasonic inspection is required (Section 17, Table 3).
4.2.4 Whether inspection or witness of inspection and tests by the purchaser’s representative is required prior to material shipment
(Section 18).
4.2.5 Whether certification is required (Section 22).
4.2.6 Whether marking for identification is required in accordance with Practice B666/B666M, Section 20.
4.2.7 Whether Practice B660 applies and, if so, the levels of preservation, packaging, and packing required (21.3).

A
Limits are in weight percent maximum unless shown as a range, or stated otherwise.
B
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
C
For the purpose of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value obtained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the
last right-hand place of the figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
D
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each, or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered
nonconforming.
E
Other Elements—Total shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
F
The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, rounded to the
second decimal before determining the sum.
G
Be 0.0003 max for welding electrode, welding rod, and filler wire.
H
Upon agreement between the purchaser and the producer or supplier, a Zr + Ti limit of 0.20 % max is permitted. Properties in Specification (Table 2) are not based on
the Zirconium and Titanium algorithm.
I
Zirconium, 0.10–0.25 %. The total for other elements does not include zirconium.
J
Manganese plus chromium shall total 0.12–0.50.
K
Lead 0.05 % max, Tin 0.9–1.5 %.
L
Bismuth 0.50–1.5 %, Lead 0.4 % max, Tin 0.05 % max.
M
Bismuth 0.30–0.9 %, Tin 0.35–1.2 %.
N
Bismuth 0.20–0.8 % Lead 0.15–0.40 %.
O
In 1965 the requirements for 6062 were combined with those for 6061 by revising the minimum chromium from “0.15 %” to“ 0.04 %.” This action cancelled alloy 6062.
P
Bismuth 0.50–0.7 %, Lead 0.20–0.40 %,
Q
Bismuth and lead shall be 0.40–0.7 % each.
R
Zirconium 0.08–0.20 %. The total for other elements does not include zirconium.
S
Composition of cladding alloy applied during the course of manufacture. Samples from finished tube shall not be required to conform to these limits.
T
Upon agreement between the purchaser and the producer or supplier, a Zr + Ti limit of 0.25 % max is permitted. Properties in Specification (Table 2) are not based on
the Zirconium and Titanium algorithm.
U
Gallium 0.03 % max.
V
In case there is a discrepancy in the values listed in Table 1 with those listed in the “International Alloy Designations and Chemical Composition Limits for Wrought
Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys” (known as the “Teal Sheets”), the composition limits registered with the Aluminum Association and published in the “Teal Sheets”
shall be considered the controlling composition. The “Teal Sheets” are available at http://www.aluminum.org/tealsheets.

A
The basis for establishment of tensile property limits is shown in Annex A1.
B
To determine conformance to this specification, each value shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ksi for strength and nearest 0.5 % for elongation in accordance with the
rounding-off-method of Practice E29.
C
Product type as specified in by Aluminum Association Registrations found in Yellow Sheets and AS&D
D
Elongation of full-section and cut-out sheet-type specimens is measured in 2 in. Elongation of cut-out round specimens is measured in 4× specimen diameter. See 8.1.1
and 8.1.2 for conditions under which measurements are not required.
E
These alloys are also produced in the F temper for which no tensile properties are specified or guaranteed.
F
For stress relieved tempers (T3510, T3511, T4510, T4511, T5510, T5511, T6510, T6511, T73510, T73511, T76510, T76511, T8510, T8511), characteristics and properties
other than those specified may differ somewhat from the corresponding characteristics and properties of material in the basic tempers.
G
Material in the T42 and T62 tempers is not available from the material producers.
H
Specified wall thickness range is limited to 2.999 in. This differs from Aluminum Standards and Data, which specifies wall thickness range as “All.”
I
Product type as specified in by Aluminum Association Registrations found in Yellow Sheets and AS&D Specified wall thickness range is limited to 2.999 in. This differs
from Aluminum Association Yellow Sheets, which specifies wall thickness range as 5.000 in for all extrusion products.
I
Yield strength is not applicable in tube.
J
Only in tube form.
K
Properties not applicable to extruded tube over 2.999 in wall thickness.
