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

The main elements in 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon. It has medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect. It is widely used in structural parts that require certain strength and high corrosion resistance. It can neutralize the bad effects of iron. Sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added 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 conductivity.

In order to improve the machinability, lead and bismuth can be added to aluminum in the solid solution of Mg2Si, so that the alloy has artificial aging hardening function.

Whether it is our common aluminum alloy rolling shutter door or cans, a large amount of aluminum is used as raw material. Although for ordinary people, aluminum alloys are not much different, after careful study, it will be found that due to the differences in composition and production process, the use effect of aluminum alloys is actually far apart.

As a commonly used type now, 6061 aluminum alloy is not only widely used in life, but also plays an important role in industrial applications. The 6063 aluminum plate, which is similar to 6061 aluminum plate, has a different application range due to the difference in aluminum content.

6063 aluminum alloy has good processing performance, superior mechanical strength and physical properties, certain corrosion resistance and coloring processing capabilities, which can ensure that the profile has a smooth appearance. It is more used in some building materials projects. Since many people are not very clear about the characteristics of aluminum alloy, they will be troubled by the price difference when purchasing, so it is necessary to understand the characteristics of aluminum alloy.
