Profiles from facilities for architectural purpose are produced by extrusion, target 6XXX arrangement. Among them, preferential AA 6XXX series alloys contain program (Mg) and silicon (Si), with different properties to other impurities (Fe, Cu Mn, Zn method) alloys together with Mg and Si. For example, 6XXX alloys with an Iron (Fe) content of 0.20% or less are more suitable for the surface. High iron should be preferred to obtain a matte surface.
Among the 6XXX series (AlMgSi) alloys, 6060 and 6063 (in EN and new TS notation) and AlMgSi0.5 (DIN and old TS notation) alloys are the most widely used in the architecture - construction industry. The chemical structures in technology are the same, those shown above and below.
6005/6005A
We learn by comparing EN AW / AA 6005, 6005A alloys, 6063; Any alloy that is harder, has stronger mechanical properties, but is expensive, difficult to extract, or complex geometries that make it difficult to define.
Profiles intended from the 6005A program will be anodized for protection, but are rendered difficult to view as they are finished.
Plastic forming is not good.
6060
It is the surface that is necessary for what is necessary for what is necessary. It is preferred for preferences such as furniture profiles.
6063
Application areas: Window and facade systems sections, furnishings, frame systems, lighting, steps, rail modules, electro motor frames, fasteners, regulators, doors, pneumatics, irrigation, furniture profiles. It may be possible for 6063 to be slightly harder but more difficult to extrude than 6060.
Characteristics: High in corrosion, very good weld, complex from weak samples, form in complex geometries.
6082
Compared to 6005, its toughness is slightly better, but its susceptibility to decorative anodizing is slightly worse. Other properties are similar to alloys 6005 and 6005A. They will repeat:
EN AW / AA 6082 alloy is provided by comparison with 6063; Any alloy that is harder, has stronger mechanical properties, but is expensive, difficult to extract, or complex geometries that make it difficult to define.
6082 processed profiles are anodized for protection.
Plastic forming is not good.
Application areas: Heavy structures in railway wagons, truck guardrails, construction industry, bridges, bicycles, platforms, sectors, industrial parts, pylons, masts, awning pipes, rivets
Characteristics: High corrosion resistance, very good weld, suitable for machine construction, very good formability in stabilized form after T4 heat treatment, moderate trouble, not suitable for complex parts.
6101
For profiles with high electrical conductivity and at the same time, 6101 alloy may be suitable. 6101, which has high electrical conductivity, is better in cutting direction than 1XXX series alloys.
6463
It is the most suitable alloy of bright aluminum.
