AA6063 aluminum is a heat-treated strengthened aluminum alloy, whose main components include aluminum, magnesium and a small amount of silicon, copper and other elements. Its key feature is its low density (about 2.7 g/cm3), which makes it have a good weight ratio while maintaining strength, which is very suitable for weight-sensitive fields.
The density of 6063 is about 60% pure aluminum, which means it is lighter than pure aluminum, but at the same time maintains sufficient strength and toughness. The tensile strength and corrosion resistance of this alloy are quite good, making it an important position in the construction, aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other industries.
1. 6063 aluminum is often used to make doors, windows, curtain walls, bridge structures, etc. due to its good weather resistance and processing performance.
2. Due to its light weight and high strength, 6063 alloy is widely used in aircraft structural parts, engine parts, etc.
3. In parts such as automobile bodies, interiors, and engine covers, 6063 can provide an ideal balance of strength and weight.
4. Electronic product housings and radiators take advantage of its excellent thermal conductivity.
6061 aircraft aluminum
Aircraft structures and parts such as supports, fuel tanks, and low-pressure pipelines for environmental control, hydraulic, and fuel systems generally use welded structures. At the same time, they are used for a long time in corrosive media such as water, steam, and oil, requiring the materials to have good corrosion resistance and weldability. Traditional corrosion-resistant weldable aluminum alloys mainly include Al-Mn series (3XXX) and Al-Mg series (5XXX), while foreign countries, especially European and American countries, mainly use Al-Mg-Si series (6XXX).
As a new type of corrosion-resistant weldable aluminum alloy material, 6061 aluminum alloy has the advantages of high strength, good corrosion resistance, low tendency to stress corrosion cracking, good formability and process performance, and has been widely used in aerospace, machinery, power electronics and household appliances.
Foreign aircraft systems mostly use 6061-T4 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloys to manufacture conduits. 6061 aluminum alloy is stronger than traditional rust-proof aluminum alloy and can use thinner-walled conduits, which reduces system weight. For example, foreign fuel systems use conduits with a wall thickness of only 0.7 mm, while domestic systems generally use rust-proof aluminum conduits with a wall thickness of 1 mm or 1.2 mm, which are nearly 19% lighter than conduits of the same specification.
