High Strength 6061 Aluminum Sheet Wholesaler Used For Commercial
Bus Body
6061 aluminum alloy is a high-quality aluminum alloy product
produced by heat treatment
pre-stretching process. It has many magnesium and silicon alloy
characteristics, excellent
processing performance, excellent welding characteristics and
electroplating, great corros
-ion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after
processing,dense material without
defects and easy to polish, easy to color film, excellent oxidation
effect and other excellent
characteristics.
Key Characteristics
♦ Composition: Al-Mg-Si alloy (Mg: 0.8-1.2%, Si: 0.4-0.8%).
♦ Strength:
T6 temper: Tensile strength ≥310 MPa, yield strength ≥276 MPa.
♦ Lightweight: Density 2.7 g/cm³ (60% lighter than steel).
♦ Corrosion Resistance: Good; can be enhanced via anodizing.
♦ Weldability: Compatible with TIG/MIG; post-weld heat treatment
recommended.
Advantages for Electric Bus Body
✅ Weight Reduction: Lowers vehicle mass, extending battery range.
✅ Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Near-carbon-steel strength at a
fraction of the weight.
✅ Machinability: Easy to cut, stamp, and CNC for complex designs.
✅ Cost-Effective: More affordable than 7xxx series, stronger than
5xxx.
✅ Surface Finish: Accepts anodizing/painting for aesthetics and
corrosion protection.
