What's the difference between 3003 tubes and 6063?
The 3003 is for the AL-Mn alloys, is one of the most widely used aluminium alloy, the strength is not high (slightly higher than that of pure aluminum), can be strengthened by heat treatment, so the use of cold processing methods to improve its mechanical properties in annealing state have high plasticity, in the semi cold hardening at the plastic is good, plastic low cold hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability.
It is mainly used for high plasticity and good weldability, low load parts, working in a liquid or gaseous medium such as oil, gasoline or lubricating oil duct, various liquid containers and other small parts deep drawing load made of wire rod for rivet.6063 Aluminum Alloy is strengthened by heat treatment of alloy with moderate intensity in the system AL-Mg-Si, Mg and Si are the main alloy elements, widely used in frame construction aluminum doors and windows, curtain walls, doors and windows, in order to ensure the curtain has a high wind resistance performance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance and decorative properties, the comprehensive performance of the Aluminum Alloy profile demand is much higher than the standard industrial profiles.
6063 Aluminum Alloy composition range specified in the national standard GB/T3190 in the value of different chemical components, will get different material properties, chemical composition when the range is large, the difference of the performance fluctuates in a large range, so that the performance profiles will be unable to control.
