The Versatile 6061 Aluminum Plate

 The marine grade aluminum has great advantages in reducing hull weight, increasing speed and decreasing fuel consumption. 6061 aluminum plate is one of the main alloys for the ship building. At the same time, it also many uses in other fields.

Ship deck

The ship deck is prone to water collection and condensation, directly in contact with the atmosphere, and subject to wind and rain erosion, sun exposure, and the alternating effects of dry and wet seawater.

Therefore, the ship deck is first required to have excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance and weather resistance. In addition, due to personnel activities and mechanical operations, it should have good anti-slip performance. 6061 aluminum tread plate is often used for the ship deck because of its excellent corrosion resistance, weather resistance and slip resistance.

Automobile application

6061 aluminum is often used for the fuel tank, which not only has good corrosion resistance, but also prevents the chemical reaction of oil and external substances. After quenching, 6061 aluminum alloy has good stability and is not easy to deform. It is a good choice for automobile pedals.

Mold

At present, the materials for manufacturing molds on the market include steel, cemented carbide, zinc-based alloys, aluminum alloys, and polymer materials. Compared with other materials, aluminum alloy molds have significant advantages such as light weight, good processing performance, high temperature resistance, and good wear resistance, accounting for 80% of the mold industry.

Manhole cover

It is used to cover deep well on the roads or at home to prevent people or objects from falling. There are many materials for non-slip manhole covers, which can be divided into metal manhole covers, high-strength fiber cement concrete manhole covers, resin manhole covers, and so on. The metal aluminum anti-skid manhole cover can use 6061-t6 aluminum plate.

Bicycle

The bicycle frame is an important mechanical component of the bicycle. Aluminum alloy is currently the most commonly used material in the bicycle market. The bicycle frame made of 6061 aluminum plate has a better advantage than other materials.

Container

Aluminum alloy for containers mainly include 6061, 6082, 6351, 6005, 6063 and 6060 alloys, of which 6061 and 6082 alloys are the most used, accounting for more than 90% of the usage. The product has high strength and good welding performance.
