Comparison of 6061 Aluminum Plate and 6063 Aluminum Plate
6 series aluminum plate is aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy, representing 6061, 6063 and 6082 grades. It is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements. It can be heat-treated and strengthened (T4, T6). Medium strength, high corrosion resistance, welding. Good performance, good moldability and processability. The current industrial production of a larger amount of 6061 and 6063 grades, the following focuses on the similarities and differences between the following aluminium plate 6061 and aluminium plate 6063:
The main alloying elements of aluminium sheet 6063 are magnesium and silicon, which are mainly delivered in the form of plates and profiles. 6063 is generally made of aluminum profiles with excellent processing properties, excellent weldability, extrudability and electroplating, and good resistance. Corrosion, toughness, easy to polish, superior coating, excellent anodizing effect, typical extrusion alloy, widely used in building profiles, irrigation pipes, pipes for vehicles, benches, furniture, elevators, fences, etc. Profiles 6063 are generally used for building profiles.
The main alloying elements of aluminium plate 6061 are magnesium and silicon, which mainly exist in the form of aluminum plate, generally in the state of T6, T4, etc. The hardness of aluminium plate 6061 reaches 95 or more. It is widely used in the mechanical processing industry, and a small amount of copper or zinc can be added during production. In order to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; there is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on the conductivity; in order to improve the machinability, lead and antimony can be added. . 6061 requires a certain degree of strength, weldability, high corrosion resistance of industrial structures. aluminium plate 6061 requires a variety of industrial structures with high strength, weldability and corrosion resistance, such as tubes, rods and shaped materials for trucks, tower construction, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, and precision machining. , plate.
In general, the aluminium plate 6061 has more alloy elements than the aluminium plate 6063, so it is higher in terms of alloy strength than 6061.
