6101 Aluminum Sheet and 5754 Aluminum Sheet

Automotive aluminum sheets can be classified into 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx aluminum alloys on alloy composition. 5754, 5182, 5023 are used for inner covering parts and structural parts; 6016, 6014, 6022, 6111 are used for outer covering parts; 7075 is used for hot-formed structural parts.

There are many alloy grades of 6 series aluminum profiles, the most commonly used ones are 6463, 6262, 6201, 6082, 6063, 6061, 6010, 6009, 6005, etc. Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy is the most commonly used aluminum alloy in wires and cables, which are 6101 aluminum and 6201 alloys, and the states are T1 and T4. In 2020, the global consumption of this aluminum alloy exceeded 5000kt.

6101 aluminum alloy wire has medium strength and high conductivity, and can be used for long-distance transmission lines. Compared with traditional steel core aluminum alloy stranded wire (ACSR), the all-aluminum alloy stranded wire (AAAC) twisted by a single Al-Mg-Si alloy wire can well avoid electrical corrosion, and can reduce the maintenance cost of transmission lines while improving transmission efficiency. At the same time, Al-Mg-Si series alloys are heat-treatable strengthening alloys, and their strength and conductivity can be adjusted by solid solution + aging heat treatment.

5754 aluminum sheet is mostly used by automobile manufacturers abroad, such as door panels, engine covers, or trunk covers. Usually 5754 aluminum sheet is processed into H111 state or H0 state through annealing, because it can only be bent in this state, and of course the price is higher than 5052 aluminum alloy sheet.

5754 aluminum alloy is a typical alloy in Al-Mg alloy series, with medium strength, good corrosion resistance and weldability, easy processing and forming, etc. 5754 aluminum alloy plates in different heat treatment states are widely used in welding structural parts, large roof panels, automobile manufacturing, rail transportation and shipbuilding industries, among which H32 state aluminum plate is one of the most widely used heat treatment states.
