The difference ****ween 5052 aluminum alloy and 6061 aluminum alloy

The main alloy elements in 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect.

 

1. Difference of raw materials:

The main alloy elements in 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect.

2. Manufacturing process difference:

The difference between 5052 aluminum plate and 6061 aluminum plate comes from chemical composition and heat treatment process, and ends in performance and application.

 

3. Performance difference:

 

Aluminum 6061 has excellent processing performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, easy coloring film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics.

 

4. Quality difference:

 

5052 aluminum plate is Al Mg antirust aluminum. Compared with 3A21, 5052 has higher strength, especially higher fatigue strength; Similar to 3A21, it has high plasticity and corrosion resistance; The heat treatment cannot be strengthened, the weldability of contact welding and hydrogen atom welding is good, and there is a tendency of crystal crack during argon arc welding; The alloy has good machinability under cold work hardening and semi cold work hardening, poor machinability under annealing and polishing.

 

5. Functional differences:

 

Alcoa 6061 has excellent processing performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, easy coloring film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics.

 


6061 aluminum plate can neutralize the bad effect of iron; Sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on conductivity; Zirconium or titanium can refine grains and control recrystallization structure; In order to improve the machinability, lead and bismuth can be added.

 

It is an Al Mg Si alloy with medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, it has no tendency of stress corrosion cracking. It has excellent weldability, corrosion resistance and cold workability A promising alloy. It can be anodized and colored or painted with enamel, which is suitable for building decoration materials. It contains a small amount of Cu, so its strength is higher than that of 6063, but its quenching sensitivity is also higher than that of 6063. Air quenching cannot be realized after extrusion. It needs to be re solution treated and quenched aging to obtain higher strength.
