According to the main application totally divided into building aluminum extrusion materials and industrial aluminum extrusion material two big kinds.
Building aluminum extrusion materials mainly refers to aluminium profiles using for building doors and windows, building curtain wall, indoor and outdoor decoration and building structure, its main alloy is 6063, a small amount of 6061, state of O, T5, T6. The vast majority of them must carry on the anodic oxidation and other surface treatment.
Industrial aluminum extrusion materials refer to all of the aluminum extrusion materials other than the architectural aluminium extrusion profiles materials, including 1xxx ~ 8xxx thousands of shop sign alloy. Hundreds of state of O, H, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, etc.
Classification according to the section form, purposes
According to the section form can be divided into the pipe, bar, strip, profiles and wires (refers to the rivet line, welding line, not including conductive line).
Different shop sign aluminium alloy application
6005 extrusion profiles and pipes, used for strength greater than 6063 alloy structure, like a ladder, TV antenna, etc.
6009 mainly used for car plate;
6010 sheet: car body;
6061 used for all kinds of industrial structural requires a certain strength, weldability and high resistance to corrosion, such as manufacturing truck, tower building, vessel, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, precision machining etc. used with the tube sheet, rod, bar section, panel.
6063 industrial extruded aluminium profiles, construction profiles, irrigation pipes and extruded material for vehicle and rack, furniture, fencing, etc.
6066 forgings and welding structure extrusion materials;
6070 heavy welding structure and automobile industry used with materials and pipe extrusion;
6101 buses with high-strength bars, electric conductor and cooling equipment etc.
