A drg of a part says the material is : ALUMINIUM AGS AFNOR 6060what does AGS stand for? what's AFNOR 6060. And the drg say:Heat treatment TS 60-80HBDoes TS stand for hardness？what 's its full form?thanks
TS stands for solution treatment and not for hardness. 60-80HB means its hardness that is ranging from 60-80 Brinnel Hardness.
AGS may be the manufacturer: Aluminium Glass Manufacturing AFNOR 6060 means the material is defined by the new French Specifications. Aluminum alloys usually have a 4-digit designation. The first digit designates purity or alloy type. The second digit indicates modifications of the alloy. Only in 1xxx series the third and fourth digits indicate the purity. For example, 1050 indicates an aluminum with 99.50% purity. The third and fourth digits in the other series identify different alloys in the group and have no numerical importance. 6060 refers to the class and elemental content of the alloy. The 6000 series means it's a Aluminum-Magnesium-Silicon alloy. Characteristics: (a) medium strength, (b) good formability, machinability and weldability, (c) corrosion resistant, (d) heat treatable. TS could be the solution treatment time. 60-80 HB is the Brinell hardness of the alloy. That was a handful to decipher...hope it helps.
