Good Thermoplasticity 6063 Aluminum Plate Sheet Checkered Embossed Mirror
Aluminum Plate Sheet 6063 0.3mm-10mm Thickness Aluminum Sheet
Performance of 6063 Aluminum Plate:
1) It has good thermoplasticity and can be extruded at high speed into complex, thin-walled, hollow profiles, or forged into complex forgings.
2) The quenching temperature range is wide and the quenching sensitivity is low. After extrusion and forging demolding, as long as the temperature is higher than the quenching temperature, it can be quenched by spraying water or passing through water. Thin-walled parts (δ <3mm) can also be air-quenched.
3) Strengthened by heat treatment, high impact toughness, not sensitive to notches.
4) Excellent welding performance and corrosion resistance, no stress corrosion cracking tendency.
5) Excellent surface, after processing, the surface is very smooth and easy to anodize and colour. Its disadvantage is that if it is left at room temperature for a period of time after quenching, it will adversely affect the strength in terms of aging.
Chemical Composition of 6063 Aluminum Plate(%):
| Alloy | Si | Fe | Cu | Mg | Zn | Mn | Ti | Cr | Other (total) | Al |
| 6063 | 0.2-0.6 | ≤0.35 | ≤0.1 | 0.45-0.9 | ≤0.1 | ≤0.1 | ≤0.1 | ≤0.1 | ≤0.15 | remainder |
Mechanical Properties of 6063 Aluminum Plate:
| Temper | Ultimate Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Hardness |
| 6063-T5 | 186 MPa | 145 MPa | 60 HB |
| 6063-T6 | 241 MPa | 214 MPa | 73 HB |
Applications of 6063 Aluminum Plate:
6063 aluminum plates are widely used for their good plasticity, moderate heat treatment strength, good welding performance, and gorgeous surface colour after anodizing. For building profiles, irrigation pipes, pipes, rods, profiles for vehicles, stands, furniture, elevators, fences, etc.
In order to ensure that doors, windows and curtain walls have high wind pressure resistance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance and decorative performance, the comprehensive performance requirements of aluminum alloy profiles are far higher than industrial profile standards.
6063 Aluminum Plate VS 6061 Aluminum Plate:
| Alloy | 6061 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 | 6061’s advantage is strength, while 6063 wins in extrudability. |
