Series 1 and Series 6 aluminium alloys

Series 1 and Series 6 aluminium alloys

Series 1 pure aluminium is also known as industrial pure aluminium sheet, representing grades 1060 and 1100 aluminium sheet, with good elongation and tensile strength, good plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, a relatively single production process, relatively mature production technology and huge price advantages over other high-grade aluminium alloys. The main states are O, H12, H14, H16, H18, etc.

The 6 series aluminium alloy is an aluminium alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements and the Mg2Si phase as the strengthening phase, which belongs to the heat treatment strengthenable aluminium alloy. The alloy has the advantages of medium strength, high corrosion resistance, no tendency to stress corrosion rupture, 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 2 series aluminium alloys, the process performance is better than 2 series aluminium alloys, but the corrosion resistance becomes poor, the alloy has good forging performance. 6 series alloys are most widely used are 6061 and 6063 alloy, they have the best comprehensive performance, the main products are extrusion profiles, is the best extrusion alloy, the alloy is widely used for construction profiles.
