Brief introduction:
6063 aluminum sheet is a medium-strength heat-resistant strengthened alloy in the AL-Mg-Si series. Mg and Si are the main alloying elements. The percentages of Mg and Si are different, and the characteristics are also different. The higher the Mg content, the greater the amount of Mg2Si, and the greater the heat treatment strengthening effect; increasing the Si content, the alloy grains become finer, the metal fluidity increases, the casting performance becomes better, and the heat treatment strengthening effect increases.
Applications and Features:
1. Strengthened by heat treatment, high impact toughness, not sensitive to notches.
2. It has good thermoplasticity and can be extruded at high speed into complex, thin-walled, hollow profiles, or forged into complex forgings.
3. The quenching temperature range is wide and the quenching sensitivity is low. After extrusion and forging demolding, as long as the temperature is higher than the quenching temperature, it can be quenched by spraying water or passing through water. Thin-walled parts (δ <3mm) can also be air-quenched.
4. Excellent welding performance and corrosion resistance, no stress corrosion cracking tendency. Among heat-treatment-strengthable aluminum alloys, Al-Mg-Si series alloys such as
6061 aluminum sheet are the only alloys that have not found stress corrosion cracking. 5. After processing, the surface is very smooth and easy to anodize and color. Its disadvantage is that if it is left at room temperature for a period of time after quenching, it will adversely affect the strength in terms of aging (the parking effect).
The Use of 6063 Aluminum Sheet
6063 aluminum sheet is widely used in the construction of aluminum doors, windows and curtain walls. In order to ensure the high wind pressure resistance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance and decoration performance of doors, windows and curtain walls, the comprehensive performance requirements of aluminum alloy profiles are far higher than those of industry. Profile standards.
6063 aluminum and aluminum sheets are widely used for their good plasticity, moderate heat treatment strength, good welding performance, and gorgeous surface color after anodizing. For building profiles, irrigation pipes, pipes, rods, profiles for vehicles, stands, furniture, elevators, fences, etc.
