The 6xxx series aluminum plates are extrusion alloys containing Al-Mg-Si elements. Currently, over 70% of extruded aluminum materials worldwide are produced using 6xxx series alloys, most of which are thick plates. As one of the most commonly used products in this series, the 6063 aluminum alloy plate for automotive use is typically available in O, T4, T6, and T651 tempers. Among these, the T651 temper is achieved by stretching the T6-treated alloy to eliminate internal stress, making it more suitable for processing and forming.
The 6063 aluminum plate is primarily used to manufacture the overall body structure of automobiles and tanker trucks. Aluminum bodies offer advantages such as lightweight, heat resistance, excellent printability, and recyclability. They significantly contribute to reducing fuel consumption, supporting national energy-saving and emission-reduction goals. Aluminum automotive bodies hold a dominant position in the global automotive industry, particularly in developed countries. To promote resource recycling and achieve lightweighting, there is still considerable room for growth in the adoption of aluminum bodies for cars and tankers. The 6063 aluminum plate is also being increasingly used in more high-end applications.
With the advancement of modernization, automobiles have become a mainstream mode of transportation, and the growth of the automotive manufacturing industry has driven the rapid development of aluminum processing. The 6063 aluminum plate is witnessing broader applications in this sector. As a high aluminum-magnesium alloy, 6063 is non-heat-treatable and offers good strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. It is also used in manufacturing aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, transportation vehicles, and ships.
Amid the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the 6063 aluminum plate is embracing new opportunities. New energy vehicles have a more urgent need for lightweighting to extend their range. Thanks to its lightweight and high-strength properties, the 6063 aluminum plate is widely used in body structures and battery trays of new energy vehicles. Its application in body structures effectively reduces weight and energy consumption, while its use in battery trays ensures strength and provides reliable protection, enhancing the safety and stability of new energy vehicles. As the new energy vehicle market continues to expand, the prospects for the 6063 aluminum plate in this field are becoming increasingly promising.
