Due to its good electrical conductivity, this alloy is commonly used in electrical applications in -T5, -T52 and -T6 conditions.
The strength of 6063 aluminum alloy sheet is lower than that of 6061. It has good extrudability and can be made into shapes with complex cross-section shapes. It has good corrosion resistance and surface treatment properties.
6063 aluminum alloy is a low-alloyed Al-Mg-Si high-plasticity alloy. Has many valuable features:
Alloy | 6061 VS 6063 |
Chemical Composition | In terms of Mg and SI, 6061 is 30-50% more than 6063. The most direct effect is that 6061 has a greater strengthening effect than 6063. |
Mechanical Properties | The strengthening effect of 6061 heat treatment is greater. In contrast, the higher the tensile strength, the greater the deformation resistance, so the plasticity of the 6061 alloy is lower than 6063. |
Plasticity | 6061-T6 is used in occasions that require certain strength and hardness. 6063 is a representative alloy for extrusion with good extrudability. |
Other Aspects | Surface treatment: Both 6061 and 6063 anodizing properties are very good. 6063 aluminum is better.Machinability: Both are good. 6061 is better.Corrosion resistance: Both are good. 6063 is slightly better.Weldability: 6063 is slightly better.Price: 6063 aluminum sheet price is a little higher |
Conclusion | Simply speaking, 6061’s advantage is strength, while 6063 wins in extrudability. |

3003 aluminum plate is a unique alloy specification in the huge family of 3000 series aluminum plates, especially 3003 Aluminum Plate H14 VS H24 for curtain wall.
8011 aluminum foil is a superior product of Huawei Aluminum. Huawei Aluminum can process 8011 aluminum foil with a thickness of 0.006-0.2mm.
Many people mistakenly believe that aluminum plate is the abbreviation of aluminum alloy plate. In fact, aluminum plate is made of pure aluminum, and aluminum alloy plate is made of aluminum alloys with different compositions.
Is aluminum magnetic?This is a question worth thinking about. First of all, aluminum and aluminum alloys are metals, themselves are not magnetic.
