Corrosion Resistant Aluminum 5086 and 6061
Corrosion resistant aluminum 5086 belongs to Al-Mg alloy and the magnesium content generally does not exceed 7%. With the increase of the magnesium content, the strength of the alloy will increase, and the plasticity will decrease. It is usually used in the annealed state, cold hardened or semi-cold hardened state. Due to the effect of magnesium, the density of 5086 aluminum plate is much higher than that of other aluminum plates.
Generally speaking, the commonly used tempers of 5086 aluminum sheet are O, H111, H112, H116, H321, etc. In terms of mechanical properties, its tensile strength is≧240, conditional yield strength≧ 95, elongation ≧10. As a big 5086 aluminum sheet supplier, Haomei Aluminum can has complete specifications for you.
The strength of 5086 aluminum sheet is higher than that of 5052 aluminum alloy, but the strength is slightly lower than that of 5083 aluminum alloy. We all know that 5086, 5083 and 5052 aluminum alloys are recognized as marine grade aluminum. 5086 aluminum sheet is resistant to strong corrosion in seawater, industrial atmosphere, petrochemical and other media. It is well used on both sides of ships, decks, tankers, pressure vessels and transportation equipment.
The 6061 aluminum plate belongs to the 6xxx aluminum alloy and the main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon. The product has medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect. It is widely used in industrial structural parts with certain strength and high corrosion resistance, such as manufacturing trucks, tower buildings, ships,etc.
The commonly used tempers of 6061 aluminum alloy are T6 and T651. In general, the internal stress of T6 will be relatively large, and the processing will deform. Therefore, the most suitable state for processing is T651. The T651 state is stretched on the basis of T6 to eliminate internal stress.
6061 aluminum checker plate is a kind of checkered aluminum plate with high hardness. In the T6 state, the hardness is around 95HB. It is often used for the ship deck. The bending performance is not good and it is easy to crack when bent, so users must pay attention to whether there is any bending in the processing process.
6061 alu profiles are better than 6063 in terms of strength and machinability, and they also have good oxidation resistance. But in terms of plasticity, 6063 aluminum profile is better, it can make the material achieve higher precision; 6063 has higher tensile strength and yield strength, showing better fracture toughness.
