The main alloying elements of
6061 aluminum tubing are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect. It is widely used in various industrial structural parts that require certain strength and high antimicrobial corrosion.
6061 aluminum tubing belongs to Al-Mg-Si series alloy, with medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, it has no stress corrosion cracking tendency, its weldability is excellent, corrosion resistance and cold workability are good, and it is a very promising alloy with a wide range of applications. It can be anodized and colored, or painted with enamel, suitable for building decoration materials. It contains a small amount of Cu, so the strength is higher than 6063, but the quenching sensitivity is also higher than 6063. Air quenching cannot be achieved after extrusion, and re-solution treatment and quenching aging are required to obtain higher strength.
6061 aluminum tubing is widely used in aerospace fixtures, electrical fixtures, communication fields, automated mechanical parts, precision machining, mold manufacturing, electronics and precision instruments, SMT, PC board solder carriers, etc.
