6061 aluminum alloy plate and 6063 aluminum alloy plate belong to the 6 series aluminum alloy profile. Both are the most common steel grades in the 6 series aluminum alloy profile plate. When it comes to the difference between them, the key difference is the aluminum moisture content. The difference between the aluminum alloy element and the aluminum alloy element may lead to differences in characteristics and main uses.
The key aluminum alloy elements of 6063 aluminum alloy profile are magnesium and silicon, which are easy to produce and process, high-quality weldability, extrudability and electroplating process, excellent corrosion resistance, ductility, easy to polish, and coat the outer film. The actual effect of anodizing treatment is high-quality. 6063 aluminum alloy plate is a typical extruded aluminum alloy. It is used in engineering construction aluminum profiles, irrigation pipe fittings, tubes, rods, aluminum profiles for cars, benches, furniture, lifting platforms, guardrails, etc. And other industries.
Although the key aluminum alloy elements of 6061 aluminum alloy profile are magnesium and silicon, the difference is that the 6061 aluminum alloy plate produces Mg2Si phase. If there is sufficient manganese and chromium, it can neutralize the bad effects of iron; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to increase the compressive strength of aluminum alloy, while avoiding a sharp decline in its corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive raw materials to offset the negative effects of titanium and iron on the conductivity; zirconium or titanium can optimize the crystal and manipulate the work hardening mechanism; in order to improve the workability, lead and bismuth can be added. In Mg2Si, the ratio of Mg/Si is 1.73. In the case of quenching and tempering, Mg2Si is solid-melted in aluminum, which makes the aluminum alloy have the effect of artificial service aging and hard bottoming.
6061 aluminum alloy plate requires various industrial production functions that must have high compressive strength, weldability and corrosion resistance, such as the production of trucks, vertical engineering buildings, ships, electric vehicles, furniture, mechanical parts, Tubes, rods, shapes and plates used for precision machining.
On the whole, 6061 aluminum alloy plate has more aluminum alloy element water content than 6063 aluminum alloy plate, so the compressive strength of raw material is higher than 6063 aluminum alloy plate.
