what is 6000 series aluminum sheet?

6 series aluminum alloy mainly contains two elements of magnesium and silicon, also known as “aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy”, is a heat treatment type of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, with high strength and corrosion resistance, good uniformity, excellent processing performance, excellent welding characteristics and plating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing, dense material without defects It has excellent characteristics such as easy polishing, easy color film, and excellent oxidation effect. It is the more circulated product in the market at present.

6xxx series aluminum alloy concentrates the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series, and is suitable for applications with high requirements of corrosion resistance and oxidation, and is mainly used for extrusion profiles in engineering applications.

Advantages of 6 series aluminium sheet

Alloy system Alloy No. Summary of Material Properties
JIS A.A.
6000 series 6061 6061 Heat treatment type corrosion resistant alloy. Treated with T6 can have a very high endurance value, but the strength of the welded interface is low, so it is used for screws and anchors
6N01 Medium-strength alloy for extrusion. The strength is between 6061 and 6063. It has good extrudability, stamping hardenability, and can be used as large thin-meat shapes with complex shapes. It has good corrosion resistance and weldability.
6063 6063 A representative alloy for extrusion, its strength is lower than 6061, its extrudability is good, it can be used as a shape with complex cross-sectional shape, and its corrosion resistance and surface treatment are excellent
6101 6101 High-strength conductive material. 55% IACS guarantee
6151 6151 Forging processability is particularly good, corrosion resistance and surface treatment are also good, suitable for complex forging products.
6262 Corrosion-resistant free-cutting alloy, with better corrosion resistance and surface treatment than 2011, and its strength is the same as 6061.

Different models of aluminum alloys are used for different purposes.

Take the commonly used 6-series grade 6061 aluminum alloy as an example.

General characteristics of 6061: excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, high strength, good serviceability, and high corrosion resistance.

6061 is a cold treated aluminum forging product suitable for applications requiring high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It has good serviceability, excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, and good workability. It can be used for low-pressure weapons and aircraft joints.

Aluminum sheet plate standard export packing

  • The aluminum plate is paperclip or laminated to ensure that the surface of the aluminum plate is intact and free of scratches;
  • Plastic film ( HDPE, PVC, PE or PET etc ) protection or hard kraft paper wrapping is used to prevent moisture and rain to ensure that the aluminum plate is clean and free of dirt during transportation (each package has a moisture-proof desiccant to ensure the quality of our products in East China and South China, where there is more rain);
  • Installed with wooden brackets and reinforced with steel straps to avoid collision during transportation and to ensure the geometry of the aluminum plate remains unchanged;
  • For export products, we use wooden boxes and pallets with fumigation mark for packaging;
  • We can also pack according to other packaging requirements of customers;
