6060 Aluminium Sheet
- 6060 aluminium sheet is an alloy in the forged aluminium-magnesium-silicon series (6000 or 6xxx series). It is similar to 6063 aluminium sheet and 6061 aluminium sheet, but the relationship with 6063 is much closer than that with 6061. The main difference between 6060 and 6063 is that the magnesium content of 6063 is slightly higher. It can be formed by extrusion, forging or rolling, but it is not used for casting as a forged alloy. It cannot be work-hardened but is usually heat-treated to produce a higher strength but less ductile temper.
- CHAL can supply superior quality 6060 aluminium sheet of different sizes and tempers, and customized services are available.

The Features of 6060 Aluminum Sheet
1. 6060 aluminum has similar properties to 6063, medium strength. Good corrosion resistance and good welding performance.
2. 6060 aluminum sheet is lightweight but has impact resistance.
3. Mainly magnesium and silicon Mg2Si are the main strengthening phase, so it is a type of non-ferrous metal structural material widely used in the industry.
4. It is a low density and high strength aluminum alloy material currently widely used abroad.
5. Good process performance (easy to be extruded).
6. Good oxidation colouring performance.
Applications of 6060 Aluminum Sheet
6060 aluminum sheet has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding aluminium and chemical industries. The main use of 6060 aluminum plate: automobile doors, trucks, tower buildings, ships and other buildings that require strength, weldability and corrosion resistance.
