Technical Specifications
Mechanical Properties (T6 temper):
- Tensile strength: 260-310 MPa
- Yield strength: ≥240 MPa
- Elongation: ≥8%
- Hardness: ~95 HB
Available Tempers:
- T5: Artificially aged (good strength, lower cost)
- T6: Solution heat treated + aged (peak strength)
- O: Annealed (maximum formability)
Key Advantages
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio (density: 2.7g/cm³)
- Superior extrudability (better than 6061)
- Good corrosion resistance
- Excellent anodizing characteristics
- Cost-effective (10-15% cheaper than 6061)
Standard Thickness Ranges
- Transportation: 1.5-6mm (rail vehicles, racks)
- Industrial: 3-12mm (robotic frames, conveyors)
- Construction: 2-5mm (curtain walls, skylights)
- Electronics: 0.8-3mm (heat sinks, brackets)
Primary Applications
- Rail transit: High-speed train bodies, door frames
- Industrial: Automation equipment, robotic arms
- Architecture: Load-bearing structures, glazing supports
- Renewable energy: Solar panel frames, battery trays
Application Recommendations
Application | Recommended Alloy | Reason |
Rail transit structures | 6005 | Best extrudability + cost balance |
High-strength components | 6061 | Highest strength + machinability |
Architectural windows/curtain walls | 6063 | Best surface finish + corrosion resistance |
Automotive lightweight parts | 6005/6061 | Strength-cost optimization |
Solar panel frames | 6005 | Weather resistance + value |
