6005 Aluminum Alloy Plate
6005 aluminum alloy is Al-Mg series anti-rust aluminum alloy. Because of the addition of a small amount of silicon, the welding performance of 6005 aluminum alloy is very good in gas welding, argon arc welding, spot welding and seam welding. 6005 aluminum alloy belongs to the Al-Mg series alloy and has a wide range of applications, especially in the construction industry, which is inseparable from this alloy. It is the most promising alloy. Good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability, and medium strength. 6005 aluminum alloy is the most widely used anti-rust aluminum.
6005 aluminum alloy has high strength, especially fatigue resistance: it has high plasticity and corrosion resistance, and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. It has good plasticity during semi-cold work hardening. When hardened, it has low plasticity, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability, and can be polished. Uses are mainly used for low-load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability, working in liquid or gaseous media, such as mailboxes, gasoline or lubricating oil pipes, various liquid containers and other small-load parts made by deep drawing: Wire is used to make rivets.
6005 aluminium alloy is a medium strength, heat treatable alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. Alloy 6005 has properties between those of alloys 6061 and 6082 and can sometimes be used interchangeably with these alloys, but 6005 has better extrusion characteristics and a better mill surface finish. It is difficult to produce thin-wall or complicated extrusions in 6005, but it is still more extrudable than 6082.
