What is the difference between 6061 aluminum alloy and 6063 aluminum alloy

Yinsheung CNC Machining

The chemical composition and processing properties of 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys are similar, but not completely the same.

The difference between the two lies in their strength. 6061 is a national standard aluminum alloy for industrial profile, while 6063 is a nationally licensed aviation aluminum alloy, doors and windows, indsutrial profile and cnc processing.

6061 aluminum material composition

Product features:

1. High strength heat-treatable alloy.

2. Good mechanical performance.

3. Good usability.

4. Easy to process and good wear resistance.

5. Good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

Main applications: aviation fixtures, trucks, tower buildings, ships, pipelines, and other applications in buildings that require strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance.

For example: aircraft parts, camera lenses, couplers, ship accessories and hardware, electronic accessories and connectors, decorative or various hardware, hinge heads, magnetic heads, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, electrical accessories, valves and valve parts.

6063 aluminum alloy chemical composition:

6063 aluminum alloy belongs to the Al Mg Si series alloy and has a wide range of applications, especially in the construction industry.

It is the most promising alloy.

Product features:

1, Good corrosion resistance

2, Excellent weldability

3, Good cold workability

4, Moderate strength.

The main alloy elements are magnesium and silicon, which have excellent processing performance, excellent weldability, extrusion and electroplating properties, good corrosion resistance, toughness, easy polishing, coloring film, and excellent anodizing effect. They are typical extruded alloys.

6063 aluminum alloy profiles are widely used in building profiles, irrigation pipes, pipes, rods, and profiles for vehicles, platforms, furniture, elevators, fences, etc.,

Due to their good plasticity, moderate heat treatment strength, good welding performance, and gorgeous surface color after anodizing treatment.
