What is 6005 Aluminum
6005 belongs to the Al-Mg alloy, which is the most promising alloy for a wide range of applications, especially in the construction industry.
It has good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability and moderate strength.
Aluminum 6005 can be easily processed and is generally obtained by aluminum extrusion. It plays a role as aluminum extrusion in the fields of construction, electronics, and aerospace.
6005 aluminum alloy applications：
Mechanical parts materials:
Because of its high strength and good corrosion resistance, 6005 aluminum alloy is often used to make various mechanical parts, such as brackets and containers. These parts need to withstand certain loads and harsh working environments, and 6005 aluminum alloy can well meet these requirements.
Material for car body and frame:
In automotive manufacturing, 6005 aluminum alloy is widely used to make body and frame components because of its high strength and light weight. It helps to reduce the vehicle’s overall mass and improve fuel economy and driving stability.
Engine part materials:
Meanwhile, 6005 aluminum alloy is also used to make engine parts, such as engine mounts. These parts need to withstand harsh environments such as high temperatures and pressures, and 6005 aluminum alloy’s resistance to high temperatures and corrosion makes it capable of performing these tasks.
Electronic equipment enclosures, heat sinks:
6005 aluminum alloy is also widely used in the electronic field due to its good thermal and electrical conductivity. It is often used to make electronic equipment shells and heat sinks and other components to improve the thermal performance and conductivity of the equipment.
It can be polished.
Uses are mainly used for the requirement of high plasticity and good weldability, working in liquid or gaseous media, low load parts, such as fuel tanks, gasoline or lubricating oil conduits. Sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships. Instrumentation, street lamp brackets and rivets, hardware products, electrical enclosures, etc.
