6061 aluminum block

Last Updated :2023/06/13
Introduction to 6061 aluminum block
The main alloy elements in 6061 aluminum block are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect. It is widely used in various industrial structural parts requiring certain strength and high corrosion resistance.

 
Basic introduction to 6061 aluminum block
Sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to 6061 aluminum block to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; there is a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the adverse effect of titanium and iron on the conductivity; zirconium or titanium can refine the grains and control the recrystallization structure; in order to improve the machinability, lead and bismuth can be added. When Mg2Si is dissolved in aluminum, the alloy has the function of artificial age hardening. The main alloy elements in 6061 aluminum block are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect.
