Aluminum Alloy | Main Alloying Elements | Advantages | Applicable Scenarios |
6061 | Magnesium and silicon | Offers an excellent balance between strength and corrosion
resistance. Pipes are lightweight yet can withstand substantial
stress. | Applications where both durability and reduced weight are crucial,
such as in aerospace for aircraft components and in some automotive
parts manufacturing. |
6063 | - | Known for superior extrudability, resulting in pipes with a more
refined surface finish and excellent dimensional accuracy. | Projects that require high - precision pipes with good aesthetics,
like in some architectural decorative piping and certain industrial
equipment with strict dimensional requirements. |
General Aluminum Alloys | - | Natural light - weight nature makes pipes easy to handle and
install, reducing labor costs and time. Inherent corrosion -
resistance as a thin oxide layer forms on the surface when exposed
to air, protecting the underlying metal from further oxidation. | Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, even in
moderately humid environments. Examples include plumbing systems in
residential and commercial buildings, and some outdoor handrail
structures. |
