What is 6463 aluminum alloy?
6463 aluminum alloy is a type of deformed aluminum and aluminum alloy, also known as American deformed aluminum and aluminum alloy.
Main Ingredients:
Aluminum (Al): as the main base element, accounting for more than 98%.
Copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si) and other elements: the content of these elements is moderate, which together determine the performance characteristics of 6463 aluminum alloy
1. 6463 aluminum alloy mechanical properties:
- Yield strength: can reach more than 200 MPa.
- Tensile strength: above 260 MPa.
- Elongation: more than 15%, with good plasticity.
2. 6463 aluminum alloy physical properties:
- Density: 2.72 g/cm³.
- Melting point: about 600℃.
- Thermal conductivity: the thermal conductivity is 201 W/(m-K), with good heat dissipation performance.
3. 6463 aluminum alloy corrosion resistance:
The oxide film of the aluminum alloy itself can form a protective film to effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion, so that 6463 aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance.
Application of 6463 aluminum alloy:
1. Construction field:
Door and window frames: Because aluminum alloy has high strength and good corrosion resistance, it is widely used in the frames of architectural aluminum doors and windows.
Curtain wall: aluminum alloy is often used in the frame of curtain wall to ensure its wind pressure resistance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance and decorative performance.
2. Transportation field:
Materials for the body structure parts of automobiles, subway vehicles, railroad coaches and high-speed buses.
Doors and windows, shelves, automobile engine parts, etc.
3. Electrical and electronic fields
Heat sink: due to its good thermal conductivity. It is often used to manufacture heat sinks.
Shell: It is also used to make the shell of electronic products.
4. Other fields
Aerospace: It is used to make aircraft skins, fuselage frames and other components.
Packaging: all-aluminum canning material is mainly used as metal packaging material in the form of sheet and foil.
6463 has good processing performance and can be processed by extrusion, welding and cutting.
It has moderate hardness and is easy to cut and process molding.
Environmental friendliness of 6463 aluminum alloy:
Aluminum alloy is renewable and can be recycled to reduce the waste of resources. Aluminum alloy products are non-toxic and harmless in the process of use, and will not cause pollution to the environment.
Final Summary
6463 aluminum alloy is a special alloy material. It has good plasticity and corrosion resistance. It is loved by consumers because of its popularity in the U.S. market.
