Aluminium alloy 6083 is a medium-strength alloy which is highly suited to welding and can be hardened by precipitation. It has excellent corrosion resistance and good formability, making it suitable for various applications, including automotive and aerospace. The composition of this alloy consists of Manganese (Mn): 0.7 - 1.35%, Magnesium (Mg): 0.45 - 0.90%, Silicon (Si): 0.30 max %, Iron (Fe): 0.5 max %, Copper (Cu):0 .20 – 1 max % Zinc(Zn) :0 .2 –1max % Titanium(Ti):<0 .15% And the remaining aluminium content comprises the balance 99%.
Aluminium 6083 Forging is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and is a popular choice for applications that require an aluminium alloy with medium to high strength requirements. It has excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, machinability and good formability. These properties make it suitable for applications like aircraft framing components, transportation industries, bridges and many other structural components where a combination of moderate strength and good corrosion resistance is desired.
