【6 series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy】The best alloy for extruded profiles

6 series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy is a type of alloy that is ideal for the manufacture of extruded profiles. The 6 series aluminum alloy plate as an aluminum plate made of this material, its main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon, representing the grade 6061. Series 6 aluminum alloy plate has medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect. Among the 6 series aluminum alloy plates on the market, T4, T6 and T651 are the main states. The internal stress of T6 is large, and the processing will be deformed, so T651 is more suitable for processing.

Next, we introduce the characteristics of 6 series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy. 6 series alloy is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements and Mg2Si phase as the reinforced phase, which belongs to the heat-treated reinforced aluminum alloy. The alloy has the advantages of medium strength, high corrosion resistance, no stress corrosion cracking tendency, good welding performance, unchanged corrosion performance in the welding area, good formability and process performance. When the alloy contains copper, the strength of the alloy can be close to the 2 series aluminum alloy, the process performance is better than the 2 series aluminum alloy, but the corrosion resistance is poor, and the alloy has good forging properties. The most widely used 6 series aluminum alloy is 6061 and 6063 alloys, they have the best comprehensive performance, the main product is extrusion profile, is the best extrusion alloy, the alloy is widely used as building profiles.

6 series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy types and uses:

6005 extruded profiles and pipes, used for structural parts requiring a strength height greater than 6063 alloy, such as ladders, TV antennas, etc.;

6061 requires a certain strength, weldability and high corrosion resistance of various industrial structures, such as the manufacture of trucks, tower buildings, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, precision processing and other pipes, rods, shaped materials, plates;

6063 industrial profiles, building profiles, irrigation pipes and extrusion materials for vehicles, benches, furniture, fences, etc.;

6201 as a 6 series aluminum alloy, has high strength, and can be used to make conductive rods and wires;
