6xxx Series Aluminum Alloys
6xxx Series Aluminum Alloys are magnesium-silicon heat-treatable grades (e.g., 6061, 6063) renowned for their balanced strength, corrosion resistance, and versatility. With 0.5–1.5% magnesium and 0.2–1.0% silicon, these alloys achieve tensile strengths of 150–310 MPa (T6 temper), combining excellent extrudability and machinability. Ideal for architectural frameworks, automotive parts, and consumer electronics, they offer lightweight durability (density: 2.7 g/cm³), resistance to atmospheric and marine corrosion (ASTM G67 compliant), and exceptional weldability. Their smooth surface finish and compatibility with anodizing or powder coating enhance aesthetics for façades, window profiles, and structural components. Zhonglian Aluminum leverages 32+ years of extrusion expertise to deliver precision profiles (±0.1mm tolerance), T4/T6 heat treatment, and ISO-certified QC, ensuring compliance with ASTM B221 and EN 755 standards for global engineering applications.
