　　Is the aluminum shell made of Qingdao Dadong signage made of aluminum? If you want to have a certain understanding, our manufacturer will analyze it for you next!

　　At present, aluminum materials used on the market range from 1 series to 8 series, with over 90% of extruded aluminum produced using 6 series alloys, while only a few other 2 series, 5 series, and 8 series alloys are extruded.

　　1. 1XXX

　　Represented as over 99% pure aluminum series, such as 1050, 1100, and 1 series, aluminum has good plasticity and surface treatment, and has the best corrosion resistance among aluminum alloys. Its strength is relatively low, and the aluminum materials of Series 1 are relatively soft, mainly used for decorative or interior parts.

　　2. 2XXX

　　Represented as an aluminum copper alloy series, such as 2014, characterized by high hardness but poor corrosion resistance, with copper having the highest content. The 2000 series aluminum rods belong to aviation aluminum materials and are currently not commonly used in conventional industries.

　　3. 3XXX refers to the aluminum manganese alloy series, such as the 30033000 series of aluminum rods, which are mainly composed of manganese elements and are commonly used as tanks, tanks, construction processing parts, construction tools, etc. for liquid products

　　4. 4XXX refers to the aluminum silicon alloy series, such as 4032 and 4 series aluminum building materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, and welding materials; Low melting point, good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance.

　　5. 5XXX

　　It refers to the aluminum magnesium alloy series, such as the 50525000 series of aluminum bars, which belong to the more commonly used alloy aluminum plate series. The main element is magnesium, and the most commonly used alloy on mobile phones is 5052, which is the most representative alloy with medium strength. It has good corrosion resistance, solubility, and formability, and mainly uses casting forming method, which is not suitable for extrusion forming.

　　6. 6XXX

　　Represented as an aluminum magnesium silicon alloy series, such as 6061 and 6063, it is a heat treated corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with high strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for applications with high requirements for corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Good usability, easy coating, and good processability.

　　7. 7XXX represents the aluminum zinc alloy series, such as 7001, which mainly contains zinc, while the 7000 series aluminum alloy represents 7075

　　. It also belongs to the aviation series and is an aluminum magnesium zinc copper alloy that can be heat treated. It is a superhard aluminum alloy with good wear resistance.

　　8. 8XXX indicates an alloy system other than the above. The commonly used 8000 series aluminum alloy is 8011, which belongs to other series and is mostly used for aluminum foil. It is not commonly used in the production of aluminum rods.

　　2、 Only by selecting appropriate aluminum materials can we produce high-quality products. The following highlights the characteristics of 6 series aluminum alloy profiles:

　　The 6 series aluminum alloy profiles are mainly composed of magnesium and silicon. 6 series aluminum is currently the most widely used alloy.

　　Among the 6 series aluminum materials, 6063 and 6061 are used the most, while the other 6082, 6160, and 6463 are used relatively less. 6061 and 6063 are commonly used on mobile phones, with 6061 having a higher strength than 6063. By casting, complex structures can be produced, and components with buckles can be made.

　　Characteristics: 6 series aluminum has moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, welding performance, and process performance (easy to extrude and form), as well as good oxidation and coloring performance.

　　Application scope: Energy transfer tools (such as car luggage racks, doors, windows, car bodies, heat sinks, compartment shells).

　　The above is the content sharing on how to correctly select suitable aluminum materials to make aluminum shells. I hope it will be helpful to you!
