The Aluminum Association, the American industry organization that has established standards uses a comparative rating system for various properties  of aluminum alloys.  An A rating is the most favorable and E is the least.  Again these are comparisons within aluminum alloys. An alloy and temper rated "A" is superior to one rated "B" and so on.  Selection of alloy and temper is best left to the design engineers.

The popular alloys for our video are 6061, 6063, and 6262.
