Because of the characteristics of 6061 aluminum alloy plate, it is often used in aluminum sheet metal, automotive body, it is belong to a very large amount of use and range alloy materials.
6061 aluminum alloy is an alloy where there are elements of aluminum, silicon, iron, copper, magnesium.Of course, there are also some other elements, but the content of 6061 aluminum alloy is not very high, the silicon content between 0.8 to 1.2, iron content is less than 0.50, the content of Cu in between 0.15 to 0.6, the content of manganese in between 0.20 to 0.8, the content of Mg in between 0.6 to 1, chromium content is less than 0.10, the content of zinc is less than 0.25, titanium content is less than 0.10 the rest of the content is aluminum.
What’s the special meaning of the 6061 aluminium alloy plate in front of the aluminum alloy 6 of them said 6 series, 0 represents the prototype of alloy, without special control of impurities and other alloy elements, meaning the three or four digit two digit 61: this had nothing to do with the composition, no special meaning, only to distinguish different alloy.
