5 major differences: 5xxx series vs 6xxx series aluminum
Different alloy compositions
The main alloying element of 5000 series aluminum alloy is magnesium, with a magnesium content of 3-5%; the alloying elements of 6xxx series aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon, which enhance corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Different application fields
5000 series aluminum alloy is lighter than 6000 series aluminum alloy and can be used in aircraft, ships and other fields. Such as aircraft skins, fuel tank parts, bulletproof decks, etc. 6xxx series aluminum has good mechanical properties and is mainly used for support in the industrial and construction fields.
Different uses
5000 series aluminum alloy is mainly used as rolled products, aluminum plates, etc. Due to its good weldability, it is also used for welding structural parts; 6 series aluminum alloy is mainly used as aluminum profiles because of its good deformability, mainly hot extrusion profiles and die casting. Of course, 6xxx series aluminum alloy can also be used to make plates. For example, 6009 and 6010 can be used to make automotive sheets, and 6061 can also be used to make aluminum sheets. 5xxx series aluminum alloys can also be used in profiles. For example, 5050 aluminum alloy can be used in pipes and profiles.
Different physical properties
The 5xxx series aluminum alloy is characterized by low density, high tensile strength and high elongation; the 6000 series aluminum alloy is characterized by medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. In particular, it has no tendency to stress corrosion cracking, has excellent weldability, good corrosion resistance and cold workability. It is an alloy with a wide range of applications and broad prospects.
Different processing procedures
The main difference between the treatment processes of 5000 and Series 6000 is the heat treatment. The 5xxx series cannot be heat treated, but the 6xxx series can be heat treated.
