It is important to choose the right material for your Aluminium Machined Parts
There are many kinds of aluminium alloy in the market,only 7 kind aluminium alloy be used commonly for precision aluminium machined parts.
AL6061
The main alloy elements of AL6061 are magnesium and silicon, with moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation.It is widely used in various industrial structures requiring high strength and antimicrobial resistance.
Generally the internal stress of T6 is bigger, the processing will be deformed, and the most suitable state should be T651.
AL7075
AL7075 materials are generally added in a small amount of copper, chromium and other alloys,It is reputed as the most excellent product in aluminum alloy, with high strength and far superior to any soft steel,Easy to process and good wear resistance,but it can’t be soldered and it’s very anti-corrosive,it’s better used with anodize.
Used for high – voltage structural parts,Such as aerospace, mould processing, mechanical equipment, tooling and fixtures industry.
AL6063
AL6063 material is a low-alloyed al-mg-si high-plastic alloy.It has excellent thermoplastic and can be extruded into complex structure at high speed,thin wall, various shapes of hollow and forging parts.
Widely used in building aluminum doors and Windows, curtain wall frame,heat sink parts.
AL5083
AL5083 material is a high – magnesium alloy. It has good strength, corrosion resistance,weldability and cutting ability in non – heat treatment alloy,the surface is beautiful after anodizing.
Excellent corrosion resistance makes 5083 alloys widely used for marine applications such as ships and welding of automobiles and aircraft parts, subway light rail.
AL5052
5052 aluminum alloy belongs to al-mg alloy,with good corrosion resistance, good welding, good cold processing, and moderate strength.
Used to make aircraft fuel tanks, tubing, and traffic vehicles, the sheet metal parts of the ship,electric shell.
AL6082
AL6082 aluminum alloy belongs to Al-Mg-Si alloy,It has medium strength and good welding performance and corrosion resistance.Easy to process and easily coated.
Mainly used in transportation and structural engineering industries. Such as bridges, cranes, roof frames, transport aircraft,carrier etc.
AL2024
This is a high strength hard aluminum, which can be strengthened by heat treatment, and is of medium plasticity in quenching and quenching.Resistance to corrosion is not high, and anodizing treatment and coating method or surface are used to
enhance the corrosion resistance.
It is mainly used to make all kinds of high-load parts and components (but not stamping parts) such as the skeleton parts on the plane.
