Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purity and main characteristics of 1060 pure aluminum?
1060 pure aluminum has an aluminum content of at least 99.6%. It features excellent electrical conductivity (62% IACS), outstanding corrosion resistance, high extension rate (25%), and is highly cost-effective for applications like capacitor casings and heat exchanger plates.
Why is 3003 manganese aluminum alloy preferred for stamped and welded parts?
With a manganese content of 1.0-1.5%, 3003 alloy offers good corrosion resistance against weak acids and alkalis, combined with excellent formability (cup protrusion value ≥7mm). Using 4043 welding wire during MIG welding prevents heat cracking, making it ideal for chemical tanks and kitchenware.
Which aluminum alloy offers the best seawater corrosion resistance?
5052 magnesium aluminum alloy (containing 2.2-2.8% magnesium) offers the best seawater corrosion resistance, enduring salt spray testing for over 1000 hours. It is DNV-GL certified, making it the perfect choice for marine porthole frames and ship components.
What are the strength benefits of 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum?
6061-T6 aluminum undergoes T6 heat treatment to achieve steel-comparable strength, with a tensile strength ≥310MPa and a hardness of HB 95. It is highly stable, with post-aging deformation of less than 0.1%, making it excellent for precision CNC-machined robot parts and UAV frames.
How do these four aluminum grades compare in terms of cost and strength?
According to our technical specifications, 1060 pure aluminum has the lowest cost index (1.0) but lower strength (70-110 MPa). 3003 alloy is slightly stronger and has a 1.2 cost index. 5052 alloy has high strength and salt resistance (cost index 1.8), while 6061-T6 offers the highest strength (≥310 MPa) with a cost index of 2.5.
