Extruded Profiles Keili Metals handles all extrusion needs in the standard 6000 alloy series and tempers; both custom and standard profiles (Die List). In order to provide a detailed price quotation for your extruded profiles, we ask for as much of the following as possible:
We can quickly put together an entire pricing package from production to delivery. 6000 Series Alloys This series contains silicon and magnesium in approximate proportions to form magnesium silicide, thus making them heat-treatable. 6005 Alloy Alloy 6005/6005A's most common temper is T5. This temper denotes that the material has been cooled from an elevated temperature for the shaping process and then artificially aged. 6005 Characteristics:
6005 Typical Applications:
Alloy 6061 is one of the most extensively used of the 6000 series aluminium alloys. It is a versatile heat treatable extruded alloy with medium to high strength capabilities and the most common alloys of aluminum for general purpose use. 6061 Tempers Alloy 6061 is commonly produced in several heat temper grades, 6061-O, 6061-T4, 6061-T6, 6061-T6511, 6061-T42. Machinability in the harder T4 and T6 tempers is good. It is notably less easy to machine in the annealed temper. 6061 Typical Applications:
Alloy 6063 is mostly used in extruded shapes for architecture, particularly window frames, door frames, and roofs. It is typically produced with very smooth surfaces fit for anodizing. 6063 Tempers Alloy 6063 is commonly produced in several heat temper grades, 6063-O, 6063-T1, 6063-T4, 6063-T5, and 6063-T6. 6063 is also produced in tempers T52, T53, T54, and T55, with various improved properties. 6063 Characteristics:
6063 Typical Applications:
Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining. As a relatively new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications. 6082 Tempers The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are: 6082-O, 6082-T4, 6082-T6, 6082-T651 6082 Characteristics:
6082 Typical Applications:
6000 series also include alloys 6060, 6066, 6070, 6105, 6162, 6262, 6351, and 6463. Extrusion alloys reach their optimal strength through the process of aging which ultimately determines the alloy's temper. T-tempers T Thermally treated to produce stable tempers other than F, O or H. Applies to products which are thermally treated, with or without additional strain-hardening, to produce stable tempers. T1 Naturally aged to a substantially stable condition. Applies to alloys which are not cold worked after cooling from a high temperature shaping process, or in which the effect of cold working in flattening or straightening may not be significant in mechanical property limits. T2 Annealed (cast products only). Applies to alloys which are cold worked to improve strength after cooling from an elevated temperature shaping process, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening is significant in mechanical property limits. T3 Solution heat-treated and then cold worked. Applies to alloys which are cold worked to improve strength after solution heat treatment, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening is significant in mechanical property limits. T4 Solution heat-treated and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition. Applies to alloys which are not cold worked after solution heat treatment, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening may not be significant in mechanical property limits. T42 indicates material is solution heat treated from the O or F temper to demonstrate response to heat-treatment, and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition. T5 Artificially aged only. Applies to alloys which are not cold worked after cooling from an elevated temperature shaping process, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening may not be significant in mechanical property limits. T6 Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged (in method such as water quenching). Applies to alloys which are not cold worked after solution heat-treatment, or in which the effect of cold work in flattening or straightening may not be significant in mechanical property limits. T62 indicates material is solution heat-treated from the O or F temper to demonstrate response to heat-treatment, and artificially aged. T6511 designation means the mill straightened the profile to meet the straightness tolerances. |
