5000 series aluminum plate and 6000 series aluminum plate

5000 Series Represents 5052.5005.5083.5A05 Series. 5000 series aluminum plate belongs to the more commonly used alloy aluminum plate series, the main element is magnesium, magnesium content between 3-5%. It can also be called aluminum-magnesium alloy. The main characteristics are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. The weight of aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than other series under the same area. Therefore, it is commonly used in aviation, such as aircraft fuel tanks. It is also widely used in conventional industries. The processing technology is continuous casting and rolling, which belongs to the hot-rolled aluminum plate series so it can do oxidation deep processing.

5000 series aluminum plate belongs to one of the more mature aluminum plate series. 5000 series typical grades and uses: 5052 aluminum has good forming processing performance, corrosion resistance, weldability, fatigue strength and medium static strength, used in the manufacture of aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, as well as transportation vehicles, ship sheet metal parts, instruments, street lamp brackets and rivet wires.

6. 6000 series represents 6061 mainly contains magnesium and silicon two elements, so the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series are concentrated 6061 is a cold-treated aluminum forged product, suitable for applications with high requirements for corrosion resistance and oxidation. Good usability, excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, good processability.

Can be used on low-pressure weapons and aircraft joints. General features of 6061: excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, high strength, good usability, strong corrosion resistance. Typical uses of 6061 aluminum: aircraft parts, camera parts, couplers, marine parts and hardware, electronic accessories and joints, decorative or various hardware, hinge heads, magnetic heads, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, electrical accessories, valves and valve parts.
