6061 aluminum plate related knowledge

2023-02-09

Friends engaged in metal materials all know that the main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, which has moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and oxidation effect, so it is widely used in various industrial structures requiring a certain strength and corrosion resistance. Below, let's understand the relevant knowledge of 6061 aluminum profile.

The main components of 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, and form MG2SI phase, if containing a certain amount of manganese and chromium, can neutralize the bad effect of iron, sometimes also add a small amount of copper or zinc, in order to improve the strength of the alloy, but does not make its corrosion resistance has significantly reduced.

There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material of 6061 aluminum plate to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on the conductivity. Zirconium or titanium can refine the grain and control the recrystallization structure. In order to improve the machinability, lead and bismuth can be added, and MG2SI is soluble in aluminum to make the alloy have the function of artificial aging hardening.

In addition, Mg-Al 6061-T651 is the main alloy of 6 series alloy, is a high quality aluminum alloy products after heat treatment and predrawing process, Mg-Al 6061 aluminum plate has excellent machining performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing, easy color film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics. Therefore, it requires a certain strength and corrosion resistance of various industrial structural parts, such as manufacturing trucks, tower buildings, ships, trams, railway vehicles.
