How much do you know about aluminum alloy materials commonly used in parts processing?

As for the parts processing industry, aluminum alloy is a very popular raw material. If you use aluminum alloy, this article will definitely give you something to gain. If you don't read it, you will regret it!

Take the naming and status of aluminum alloy grades, many people will wonder about some material grades, such as 6061, 6061-T6, 7075-T651, etc. What do these numbers and letters represent?

Example: 6061-T6

6: Represents aluminum and aluminum alloy groups.

(1: industrial pure aluminum, 2: aluminum-copper alloy, 3: aluminum-manganese alloy, 4: aluminum-silicon alloy, 5: aluminum-magnesium alloy, 6: aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy, 7: aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy Alloy, 8: other alloys, 9: spare alloy group.)

0: Indicates the control of the limit content of alloying elements or impurities.

(0: Original alloy, indicating that there is no special control over the limit content of miscellaneous items, 1-9: Modified alloy, indicating that there is special control over the limit content of one or more single impurities or alloying elements)

61: Represents different alloys.

(The first place of the grade of pure aluminum is 1. The first place of the grades of other alloys is 2-9. The two digits have no special meaning and are only used to identify different alloys in the same group)

T6: Represents the basic status code.

(H: Work-hardened state, suitable for non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys such as 1 series, 3 series, and 5 series; T: stable state of the product after heat treatment, suitable for heat treatment strengthened aluminum alloys such as 2 series, 6 series, and 7 series; F: The original state after processing is suitable for situations where there is no requirement for mechanical properties of the processed product during the molding process; O: annealed state, suffixed with an Arabic numeral other than 0.)
