What is the difference between 6060 aluminum alloy and 6063 aluminum alloy?

The difference between the two lies in the strength, 6060 is the standard aluminum alloy for doors and windows, while 6063 is the aviation aluminum alloy licensed by the state.

6060 Aluminum Material Composition Si: 0.3-0.6 Fe: 0.1-0.3 Cu: 0.1 Mn: 0.1 Mg: 0.35-0.6 Cr: -- Zn: 0.1 Others: -- Ti: 0.15 Other Total: 0.15 Al: Residual Performance: Tensile Strength σb (MPa): ≥470 Conditional Yield Strength σ0.2 (MPa): ≥420 Elongation δ5 (%): ≥6 Product Features: 1. High strength heat-treatable alloy. 2. Good mechanical properties. 3. Good usability. 4. Easy to process, good wear resistance. 5. Good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Main Applications: Aerospace fixtures, trucks, tower buildings, boats, pipes, and other applications in construction where strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance are required. Such as: aircraft parts, camera lenses, couplers, marine accessories and hardware, electronic accessories and joints, decorative or various hardware, hinge heads, magnetic heads, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, electrical accessories, valves and valve parts.

6063 Aluminum Alloy Chemical Composition: Aluminum Al: Margin Silicon Si : 0.20~0.6 Copper Cu : ≤0.10 Magnesium Mg: 0.45~0.9 Zinc Zn: ≤0.10 Manganese Mn: ≤0.10 Titanium Ti : ≤0.10 Chromium Cr: ≤0.10 Iron Fe: 0.000~ 0.350 Note: Single: ≤0.05; Total: ≤ 0.15 The density of 6063 was 2.69 g/cm3

Physical and mechanical properties:

Tensile Strength σb (MPa):≥205 Conditional Yield Strength σ0.2 (MPa):≥170 Elongation δ5 (%):≥9 6063 Aluminum Sheet Product Features and Usage:

6063 aluminum alloy belongs to the Al-Mg-Si series alloy, which has a wide range of uses, especially in the construction industry, which is inseparable from this alloy, and is the most promising alloy. It has good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability, and medium strength.

The main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon, which have excellent processing performance, excellent weldability, extrusion and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, toughness, easy polishing, coloring film, and excellent anodizing effect, and are typical extruded alloys. 6063 aluminum alloy profile is widely used in building profiles, irrigation pipes, pipes, rods, and profiles for vehicles, platforms, furniture, lifts, fences, etc. due to its good plasticity, moderate heat treatment strength, good welding performance, and gorgeous color after anodizing treatment.

It is a low-alloyed Al-Mg-Si high-plastic alloy. It has many valuable features: 1. Heat treatment strengthened, high impact toughness, and insensitive to defects. 2. It has excellent thermoplasticity and can be extruded into complex structures at high speed. Thin wall. Hollow various profiles or forged into complex forgings, wide quenching temperature range, low quenching sensitivity, after extrusion and forging demolding, as long as the temperature is higher than the quenching temperature. It can be quenched by spraying water or piercing water. Thin-walled parts (6<3mm) can also be wind-quenched. 3. Excellent welding performance and corrosion resistance, no stress corrosion cracking tendency, among the heat-treated reinforced aluminum alloys, Al-Mg-Si alloys are the only alloys that do not find stress corrosion cracking. 4. The surface is very smooth after processing, and it is 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 (parking effect).
