Contact SupplierAluminum extrusion alloys are aluminum alloys that are specifically designed for use in the extrusion process, which is a manufacturing process used to create complex shapes and profiles by pushing aluminum through a die. The selection of the appropriate aluminum extrusion alloy depends on the specific application requirements, such as strength, corrosion resistance, surface finish, and formability.
Some common aluminum extrusion alloys include:
6061: a versatile alloy with good strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance.
6063: an alloy with good extrudability and surface finish, often used for architectural applications.
6082: a high-strength alloy with good machinability and corrosion resistance, often used in structural applications.
7075: a high-strength alloy with good fatigue resistance, often used in aerospace and defense applications.
3003: an alloy with good formability and weldability, often used for sheet metal applications.
Aluminum extrusion alloys can be further customized by adding various elements, such as copper, zinc, magnesium, silicon, and manganese, to achieve specific properties. The extrusion process allows for the creation of a wide range of shapes and profiles, including tubes, angles, channels, and custom shapes, making aluminum extrusion alloys a popular choice in various industries, such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
