Our Samples
Specializing in medium and thick 5xxx/6xxx series aluminum plates, we produce samples for automotive and railway transportation applications.
Ocean Shipping
For oversize plates, we use Flat Rack Container shipping with secure packaging:
- Secure fastening with wooden blocks, steel straps, and ratchet tie-downs
- Waterproof tarps protect against seawater and rain exposure
- Careful loading with low, evenly distributed center of gravity
Key Properties
Composition
Al-Mg-Si alloy with Mg (0.6-1.2%), Si (0.7-1.3%), and Mn/Cr for enhanced strength
Mechanical Properties
- Tensile strength: ≥310 MPa (T6), ≥260 MPa (T4)
- Elongation: ≥10% (T6), ≥14% (T4)
- Hardness: ~95 HB (T6)
Material Characteristics
- Responds well to T4 (solution) and T6 (solution+aging) heat treatments
- Moderate corrosion resistance - requires surface protection for harsh environments
- Good weldability with post-weld heat treatment to restore strength
Common Tempers
Temper | Treatment | Characteristics |
T4 | Solution treated + naturally aged | High formability |
T6 | Solution + artificially aged | Peak strength |
