Do You Know What Are the Three States of 6061 Aluminum Plate?

6061 aluminum plate has high strength, good anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation effects, and is widely used in automatic mechanical parts, precision machining, automobile chassis, cake molds, etc. What is the difference, what are the advantages of being a car chassis and a cake mold?

1. Three states of 6061 aluminum plate

The main alloy elements of 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, which have medium strength, good corrosion resistance and good oxidation effect. 6061 aluminum plate is widely used after heat treatment, and 6061 aluminum plate thick plate is used in automatic mechanical parts, precision machining, and various mold manufacturing. What are the different states of 6061 aluminum plate T6, F, and O? What are the common states of 6061 aluminum plate?

The T6 state is the most used 6061 aluminum plate. In this state, the 6061 medium-thick plate is quenched through the medium-thick plate-slicing of the medium-thick plate-stretching machine-aging treatment-sawing machine-polishing-packaging. The whole production cycle is about 10 days. After solution heat treatment, no cold working is required, and straightening and leveling can be carried out without affecting the mechanical properties.

F state is the free processing state of 6061 aluminum plate, which is suitable for special products with work hardening and heat treatment conditions during the forming process. The production cycle of F state is very short: medium and thick plate slicing—sawing machine—polishing (or not polishing, according to customer requirements)—packaging. The whole process is arranged smoothly and can be shipped in 3 days. The mechanical properties of F state do not make specifications, and customers can customize according to their own needs. The F state is then subjected to heat treatment to produce the required state for use. The corresponding price is also the cheapest.

The O state is the processed product of the lowest strength obtained by 6061 aluminum plate after complete annealing. It is suitable for thin plates below 6061 aluminum plate 8.0, and its production process: cold-rolled finished product thickness—stretch bending straightening cleaning—full annealing—fly shearing sheet (or stretch bending straightened finished product)—packaging and warehousing, etc. A series of production, production cycle Second only to the T6 state.

2. Application of 6061 aluminum plate in automobile chassis

The chassis of a car is the underbody main frame of the vehicle. The power part of all vehicles, including engines, axles, gearboxes, differentials, etc., and suspension systems are installed on the chassis. The function of the automobile chassis is to support and install the automobile engine and its various components and assemblies to form the overall shape of the automobile, and receive the power of the engine to make the automobile move and ensure normal driving. At the same time, a good chassis can ensure the safety of the driver.

Advantages of using 6061 aluminum plate: 1. Lightweight. All-aluminum is at least 100kg lighter than traditional steel, improving power, fuel economy, and handling. 2. Corrosion resistance, durability is higher than steel. 3. Safer, the energy absorption of aluminum is twice that of ordinary steel.
