6061 aluminum alloy is a high-quality aluminum alloy products produced by the heat-treatment pre-stretching process, and its strength can not be compared with the 2XXX series or 7XXX series, but its magnesium and silicon alloy characteristics are more than one, and it has excellent processing performance, excellent welding Characteristics and plating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing, dense material without defects and easy to polish, easy to color film, excellent oxidation effect and other good features.
The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon, and the formation of Mg2Si. If a certain amount of manganese and chromium, can neutralize the bad effects of iron; sometimes add a small amount of copper or zinc to improve the strength of the alloy, but not to make its corrosion resistance has been significantly reduced; 6061 aluminum alloy of the main alloying elements for the magnesium and silicon, with a medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability , oxidation effect is better.
