    When aluminum is cast, it is mixed with other minerals to impart different qualities to the metal. 6061 aluminum is cast with magnesium as its primary additive. 7005 aluminum is cast with zinc as its primary additive. Both formulas have different qualities of lightness, strength and cost. 6061 aluminum is cheaper, thus making a bike built from it more affordable. It's more costly to use zinc as an aluminum additive, making the 7005 series more expensive.
