Although both 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys are important members of the aluminum alloy family, they differ in composition and performance. 6061 aluminum alloy is mainly composed of silicon, magnesium, copper and other elements, with high strength, good corrosion resistance and weldability, and is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, construction, machinery manufacturing and other fields that require high strength and durability. In contrast, 6063 aluminum alloy is composed of silicon and magnesium as the main alloying elements, has a better surface finish and excellent processability, lower strength, and is suitable for cleaning tools, such as mop sticks, broom sticks, cleaning brushes, etc. The advantages of 6063 aluminum alloy lie in the good processability and surface treatment, which can achieve complex shapes and fine surface treatment. Overall, 6061 aluminum alloy is more suitable for applications that require greater mechanical stress, while 6063 aluminum alloy is widely used in the architectural and decorative fields, and is especially suitable for making aluminum profiles with high appearance requirements.
7075 aluminum alloy and 7050 aluminum alloy both belong to high-strength aluminum alloy, mainly used in aerospace and military fields, but they have some differences in composition and performance. 7075 aluminum alloy is mainly zinc (Zn) as the main alloying element, containing high zinc and a small amount of copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), etc., with very high strength and good corrosion resistance, but in the welding performance is poorer, prone to 7050 aluminum alloy is also zinc as the main alloying element, but contains higher magnesium and lower copper, so it has better resistance to stress corrosion cracking performance, especially for high pressure structural parts. 7050 aluminum alloy’s strength is a little less than 7075, but in terms of corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance performance is better, especially for aerospace field of the long-term use of the reliability of the requirement. In summary, 7075 emphasizes strength, while 7050 focuses more on corrosion resistance and fatigue performance.
