The main uses of 6061 aluminum alloy

2022-11-16

6061 aluminum alloy is a heat-treatable alloy. It has good formability, weldability and machinability. At the same time, it has medium strength and can maintain good operation after annealing.

6061-T651 is the main alloy of 6061 aluminum alloy. It is a high quality aluminum alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre-drawing process. Although its strength is not compared with that of 2XXX series or 7XXX series, it has many magnesium and silicon alloy characteristics. It has excellent machining performance, excellent welding characteristics and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, dense material without defects, easy polishing, easy color film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics. Therefore, it is widely used in decoration, packaging, construction, transportation, electronics, aviation, aerospace, weapons and other industries.

Typical use

1. Aerospace aluminum is used for making aircraft skin, fuselage frame, girders, rotors, propellers, fuel tanks, panels and landing gear struts, as well as rocket forging rings, spacecraft panels, etc.

2, transportation aluminum used for automobile, subway vehicle, railway passenger car, high-speed passenger car body structural parts materials, car doors and Windows, shelves, automobile engine parts, air conditioner, radiator, car body plate, wheel hub and naval ship materials.

3, packaging aluminum aluminum can can material is mainly in the form of sheet and foil as metal packaging materials, cans, LIDS, bottles, barrels, packaging foil, widely used in beverage, food, cosmetics, medicine, cigarettes, industrial products and other packaging.

4, printing aluminum is mainly used for the production of PS plate, aluminum based PS plate is a new material in the printing industry, used for automatic plate making and printing.

5, architectural decoration aluminum alloy because of its good corrosion resistance, sufficient strength, excellent technological performance and welding performance, mainly widely used in building frames, doors and Windows, ceiling, decorative surface, etc. Such as all kinds of building doors and Windows, curtain wall with aluminum, aluminum curtain wall, pressure plate, pattern plate, color coated aluminum plate, etc.

6, electronic home appliances with aluminum is mainly used in all kinds of bus, wire, conductor, electrical components, refrigerator, air conditioning, cable and other fields.
