What is the difference between 7075 and 6061 aluminum plates
6061 aluminum is a better material. Because 7075 aluminum contains a high proportion of other metals, so welding, processing are more difficult, especially 7075 aluminum (the latter two digits represent the alloy ratio) it is higher proportion, so it generally can not be used as a frame material. By contrast, the 6061 aluminum plate has a lower proportion of other metals, so it can be enhanced by special-shaped, various treatments to reduce its strength and wind resistance, and can even be reduced by three suction pipes. The main alloy elements of 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon and form Mg2Si phase. A certain amount of manganese and chromium can neutralize the bad effect of iron; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc can be added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; a small amount of copper in conductive materials can counteract the bad effect of titanium and iron on conductivity; zirconium or t...
