The difference between 6063 aluminium and 6005 and 6061

The difference between 6063 aluminium and 6005 and 6061

Our common aluminium alloy profiles are all 6 series aluminium profiles, among which 6063, 6061 and 6005 are also the most commonly used. 6 series aluminium profiles all belong to the aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy, which has some common characteristics, with relatively good formability, corrosion resistance and high hardness. So they are all suitable for making extruded profiles, but they each have different uses. So what are the differences between these three grades of aluminium? Today we'll take a closer look. We also remind you that if you want to buy our 6 series aluminium sheets, we will provide you with first-class aluminium sheets. Haomei Aluminium Co Ltd is a 20 year established aluminium product processing company, we are experienced, have a good reputation and have worked with companies all over the world. If you have any aluminium alloy sheets that you would like to purchase, we will be happy to supply them!

Different grades of 6 series aluminium sheets have different alloy composition contents, so what are the specific differences in contents between them? Let's find out together next. First of all, the magnesium content in 6005 aluminum alloy plate is between 0.4%~0.6%, while its silicon content is between 0.6%~0.9%. 6061 aluminum alloy plate has a magnesium content between 0.8%~1.2%, while its silicon content is between 0.4%~0.8%. 6063 aluminum alloy plate has a magnesium content between 0.45%~0.9%, while its silicon content is between 0.2 %~0.6%. And because of this difference in the content of trace elements, the different alloy composition content of 6 series aluminium alloy sheet leads to different performance, strength and range of use. As for their specific differences we can take a look at the next article.
