Introduction of 6061 aluminum block bar plate
6061 aluminum block bar plate has good formability, weldability, machinability, and medium strength. It can still maintain good operability after annealing. The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum block bar plate are magnesium and silicon, and form Mg2Si phase. If it contains a certain amount of manganese and chromium, it can neutralize the bad effects of iron; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to increase the strength of the alloy without ficantly reducing its corrosion resistance; there is a small amount of conductive materials In order to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on conductivity; zirconium or titanium can refine the grain and control the recrystallization structure; in order to improve the machinability, lead and bismuth can be added. Mg2Si is solid-dissolved in aluminum, which makes the alloy have artificial age hardening function.
