6060 Aluminum and aluminium grade 6063 has similar chemical composition and processing properties, but not exactly the same. The main difference between the two is the strength. 6060 aluminum is the national standard aluminum alloy for doors and windows, while 6063 aluminum is the aviation aluminum alloy.
Alloy | Si | Fe | Cu | Mn | Mg | Cr | Zn | Ti | Others | Al |
6060 | 0.3-0.6 | 0.1-0.3 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.35-0.6 | - | 0.1 | 0.15 | - | remainder |
Tensile strength (MPa): ≥470
Conditional yield strength 0.2 (MPa): ≥420
Elongation δ5 (%): ≥6
Feature:
1. High-strength heat-treatable alloy.
2. Good mechanical properties.
3. Good usability.
4. Easy to process and good wear resistance.
5. Good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.
Application:
It is widely used for trucks, tower buildings, ships, pipelines and other building applications that require strength, weldability and corrosion resistance.
