Main characteristics and application areas:

6005 aluminum tubes are usually formed by extrusion and other means to obtain the desired shape and size. Due to its high strength and good workability, 6005 aluminum tubes are widely used in construction, transportation and industrial manufacturing. In the construction industry, it is used to manufacture structural components such as window and door frames, curtain wall structures and aluminum beams. Meanwhile, the automotive industry also often uses 6005 aluminum tubes to manufacture body parts, frame structures and car chassis to achieve the goal of lightweight and energy saving.

Alternative names and related standards:

Also known as AlSiMg and A96005, the chemical composition and shape of 6005 aluminum alloy conforms to a range of standards, including ASTM B 221, EN 573-3, EN 755-2 and ISO 6361.

Heat Treatment and Strength Improvement:

Heat treating is one of the common machining processes for 6005 aluminum alloy, through which its strength and hardness can be significantly increased at the expense of some ductility. This allows 6005 aluminum tubes to excel in applications that require a high strength material, such as structural support and load bearing components.
