6xxx series 6005 Aluminum Alloy Plate 4x8 Aluminum Sheet
6005 is a medium-strength, heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si alloy widely used in structural and
architectural applications. It offers an excellent balance of mechanical properties, extrudability,
and cost efficiency, making it a popular alternative to 6061 for many industrial uses.
Technical Overview
Material Properties
Alloy type: Heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si series
Composition: Mg (0.4-0.6%), Si (0.6-0.9%) with Cr/Cu additions
Mechanical Properties (T6 temper):
• Tensile strength: 260-310 MPa
• Yield strength: ≥240 MPa
• Elongation: ≥8%
• Hardness: ~95 HB
Available Tempers
T5: Artificially aged (good strength, lower cost)
T6: Solution heat treated + aged (peak strength)
O: Annealed (maximum formability)
Key Advantages
✓ Excellent strength-to-weight ratio (density: 2.7g/cm³)
✓ Superior extrudability (better than 6061)
✓ Good corrosion resistance
✓ Excellent anodizing characteristics
✓ Cost-effective (10-15% cheaper than 6061)
Standard Thickness Ranges
• Transportation: 1.5-6mm (rail vehicles, racks)
• Industrial: 3-12mm (robotic frames, conveyors)
• Construction: 2-5mm (curtain walls, skylights)
• Electronics: 0.8-3mm (heat sinks, brackets)
Primary Applications
♦ Rail transit: High-speed train bodies, door frames
♦ Industrial: Automation equipment, robotic arms
♦ Architecture: Load-bearing structures, glazing supports
♦ Renewable energy: Solar panel frames, battery trays
| Application | Recommended Alloy | Reason |
| Rail transit structures | 6005 | Best extrudability + cost balance |
| High-strength components | 6061 | Highest strength + machinability |
| Architectural windows/curtain walls | 6063 | Best surface finish + corrosion resistance |
| Automotive lightweight parts | 6005/6061 | Strength-cost optimization |
| Solar panel frames | 6005 | Weather resistance + value |
