6061 aluminum alloy is an Al Mg Si alloy with medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, it has no stress corrosion cracking tendency. It has good weldability, corrosion resistance and cold workability. It is a widely used A promising alloy. It can be anodized and colored, and can also be painted with enamel. It is suitable for building decoration materials.
Similar to 6061 alloy, 5005 aluminum alloy has medium strength and good corrosion resistance. 5005 aluminum alloy is used as conductor, cooker, instrument panel, shell and building decoration. 5005 h24 aluminum alloy is an aluminium alloy with good resistance to atmospheric corrosion. It is used in decorative and architectural applications.
