Main features and application fields of 6 series aluminum alloy

6-series aluminum alloy is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements and Mg2Si phase as the strengthening phase, which is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy. The alloy has the advantages of medium strength, high corrosion resistance, no stress corrosion cracking tendency, good welding performance, unchanged corrosion performance of the welding zone, good formability and process performance. When the alloy contains copper, the strength of the alloy can be close to that of the 2 series aluminum alloy, and the process performance is better than that of the 2 series aluminum alloy, but the corrosion resistance becomes worse, and the alloy has good forging performance. The most widely used 6-series alloys are 6061 and 6063 alloys, which have the best comprehensive properties. The main products are extruded profiles, which are the best extruded alloys. The alloys are widely used as building profiles.

Currently produces 6-series aluminum alloy grades: 6005, 6060, 6061, 6063, 6082, 6201, 6262, 6463, 6A02, the following is a detailed introduction to their respective uses.

The main application of 6 series aluminum alloy

6005 extruded profiles and pipes, used for structural parts that require strength greater than 6063 alloy, such as ladders, TV antennas, etc.
