6061 extruded aluminum alloy hexagonal bar rods

Jan 31, 2023

6061 mainly contains magnesium and silicon, so the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series are concentrated. 6061 is a cold-processed aluminum forged product suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. It has good usability, easy coating and good processability.



The casting of 6061 aluminum hexagonal bar rods includes melting, purification, impurity removal, degassing, slag removal and casting processes. The main processes are as follows: (1) Ingredients: Calculate the amount of various alloy components according to the specific alloy grades that need to be produced, and reasonably match various raw materials. (2) Smelting: The prepared raw materials are added to the melting furnace for melting according to the process requirements, and the impurities and gases in the melt are effectively removed by degassing and slag refining means. (3) Casting: The molten aluminum liquid is cooled and cast into various round casting rods under a certain casting process condition through a deep well casting system.
6061 aluminum hex bar rods are used in the manufacture of aircraft structures, rivets, missile components, truck hubs, propeller components and other structural components.
