6016 Aluminum Sheet for Body in White

The current development trend is to develop 6000 car body panel. After solution treatment with proper pretreatment, this series has good formability and high bake hardening property when painting. After stamping and baking, the performance can be further improved. It has become the research focus at home and abroad for its excellent comprehensive properties.

6xxx aluminum alloys are heat-treatable-strengthened aluminum alloys with high strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. Compared with the steel plate, the yield strength and tensile strength of the 6-series T4 temper are similar and hardening coefficient even exceeds that of the steel plate.

At present, the most widely used aluminum automotive sheets are 6016, 6022, 6111, 6005, 6009, 6010, etc. 6009, 6010 and 6016 aluminum alloys are currently used for exterior and interior panels of automobile bodies due to their good plasticity and the ability to achieve high strength through artificial aging during the paint-baking process after forming.

For example, Plymouth Prowler uses 6022 for body panels, Audi A8 uses 6016 for body panels, Acura NSX uses 5052 for body and 6000 series for exterior panels, Jaguar XJ220 and GM EV1 use 5754 for body panels.

Compared with the steel plate front anti-collision beam assembly, the use of 6063 and 6016 aluminum alloys to manufacture the front anti-collision beam assembly not only greatly reduces the weight, but also improves the anti-collision effect. 6063 and 6016 alloys are two commonly used wrought aluminum alloys. The manufacturing cost of aluminum alloy crash beams is about 18.5% higher than that of steel beams.

6016 alloy is widely used in ABS, but the heat treatment process is complicated, and pre-aging treatment T4P must be carried out between solution treatment and paint treatment to obtain good performance. Because it should have good formability before stamping, and can rapidly increase the strength during the paint baking process after stamping, so as to have high dent resistance.

6016 t4 aluminum and 6016 t6 are the common two tempers of 6016 aluminum sheet. Haomei Aluminum has rich tempers of 6016 aluminum plate. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
