6 series aluminum alloy main features and applications
6 series aluminum alloy main features and applications
Aluminum profile is a new alloy material composed of aluminum as the main alloy element and added with various alloys such as copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc.
There are many classification methods for aluminum profiles.
From 1 series to 7 series, each series contains different alloy elements and characteristics.
The alloy materials used in industry are 6 series aluminum profile that is mainly with aluminum-silicon alloys with a small amount of magnesium.
This article focuses on the main features and application areas of 6 series aluminum profiles.
6 series aluminum alloy main features and applications
The 6 series aluminum profile is an extrusion profile that makes aluminum-silicon alloy as the main alloy element, formed by a high-temperature extrusion process.
It is an aluminum alloy profile that can be strengthened by heat treatment, that is, the Mg₂Si strengthening phase can be precipitated by solution aging.
In order to improve its strength, it has high corrosion resistance, weather resistance and good welding performance, and it is easy to form.
The tensile strength and yield strength are also very good.
It has the best performance in extrusion alloys for building materials.
There are many alloy grades of 6 series aluminum profiles.
The most commonly used are 6005, 6009, 6010, 6061, 6063, 6082, 6201, 6262, 6463, etc.
Among them, alloy 6061 and 6063 are most widely used in industrial fields.
The main applications of these alloys are listed below for the reference
