The difference between 6061 aluminum plate and 6063 aluminum plate

The 6-series aluminum plate is aluminum-magnesia silicon alloy, representing the grade 6061, 6063, 6082, is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements, which can be strengthened by heat treatment (T4, T6), medium strength, high corrosion resistance, good weldability, good formability and manufacturability. At present, the largest amount of industrial production is 6061 and 6063 grades, what is the difference between these two grades of aluminum plates?

The main alloying elements of 6063 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, mainly delivered in the form of plates and profiles, 6063 generally do more aluminum profiles, with excellent processing performance, excellent weldability, extrusion and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, toughness, easy polishing, coating, anodic oxidation effect is excellent, is a typical extrusion alloy, widely used in building profiles, Irrigation pipes, tubes, rods, profiles for vehicles, benches, furniture, lifts, fences, etc. 6063 generally used for building profiles.

The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, mainly in the shape of aluminum plate, generally T6, T4 and other states, 6061 aluminum plate hardness of more than 95, widely used in the machining industry, the production can add a small amount of copper or zinc to improve the strength of the alloy, without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on electrical conductivity; To improve machinability, lead and bismuth can be added. 6061 Industrial structural parts requiring certain strength, weldability and high corrosion resistance. 6061 Aluminum plate requires a certain strength, weldability and high corrosion resistance of various industrial structures, such as the manufacture of trucks, tower buildings, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, precision processing of the pipe, rod, shaped material, plate.

In general, 6061 aluminum plate has more alloying element content than 6063 aluminum plate, so 6061 is higher in terms of alloy strength.
