Aleación de aluminio 6014

6014 aluminio is a medium-strength, heat-treatable 6xxx alloy valued for its good balance of formability, corrosion resistance, and an excellent surface finish after anodizing. It is widely used for visible automotive body panels and architectural components where appearance matters.

What Is 6014 Aluminum Alloy?

6014 aluminum is a heat-treatable 6xxx series alloy (Al–Mg–Si) developed for automotive body sheet. It offers good formability in the O and T4 tempers and gains strength through paint-bake or artificial aging, while keeping a smooth surface that paints and anodizes well.

Guía para la selección del temple

6014 is most often specified in O (fully soft, for deep drawing), T4 (solution heat-treated, for post-form aging), and T6 (solution heat-treated and artificially aged, for maximum strength). For automotive outer panels the T4 / paint-bake route is common because it combines forming ease with in-line strength gain.

Características principales

Buena formabilidad

6014 forms, draws, and bends cleanly in O and T4, suiting complex body-panel geometries.

Excellent Surface Finish

Low coarse-particle content gives a smooth painted or anodized appearance for visible parts.

Paint-Bake Response

Strength increases during the paint-cure cycle, a key advantage for automotive body sheet.

Resistencia a la corrosión

Performs well in typical atmospheric and automotive environments.

Soldabilidad

Readily welded by TIG/MIG; post-weld strength recovery depends on temper and heat input.

Aplicaciones

  • Automotive body panels: hoods, doors, fenders, and inner structural stampings
  • Architectural components: visible trim and cladding where finish matters
  • General sheet fabrication: enclosures and brackets needing good appearance
  • Transport: light structural and decorative parts

Notas sobre el procesamiento y el acabado superficial

6014 is supplied in heat-treatable tempers and supports standard aluminum fabrication:

  • Corte: shearing, sawing, and laser cutting to size
  • Mecanizado: CNC turning and milling; free-machining variants suit high-volume automatic lathes
  • Soldadura: TIG/MIG weldable; note that welding reduces heat-treated strength in the weld zone
  • Conformado: O and T4 tempers form well; T6/T9 are used near-finished
  • Acabado superficial: anodizing (decorative and hard-coat) and polishing for visible parts

Documentación de calidad e inspección

Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) that reports the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. Inspection is available against ASTM, EN, or GB standards on request. Typical documents include:

  • MTC (EN 10204 3.1): per-heat chemical and mechanical verification
  • Dimension report: thickness, width, OD, and length tolerances per ordered specification
  • Surface & packaging inspection: finish, edge, and export packaging photos on request

Linsy holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) certifications. Third-party SGS or comparable test reports can be arranged when the project requires them.

6014 Aluminum FAQ

Is 6014 heat-treatable?

Yes. 6014 is a heat-treatable 6xxx alloy supplied in O, T4, and T6 tempers.

6014 vs 6016 — which to choose?

Both are automotive body-sheet alloys. 6016 typically carries slightly higher silicon and is common for outer panels; 6014 is a comparable medium-strength option. Selection depends on the stamping and surface requirements of the part.

Can 6014 be anodized?

Yes. 6014 anodizes to a clean, uniform finish and is suitable for decorative anodizing on visible components.

Preguntas frecuentes generales sobre pedidos

What information should I provide for a quote?

Alloy and temper, required form (sheet, plate, tube, bar, profile), dimensions and tolerances, quantity, and the applicable standard (ASTM, EN, GB, or JIS). Drawing-based profiles need a CAD file or dimension sketch.

What are the typical lead times?

Standard stock sizes are usually shipped within 10–60 days depending on specification and volume. Custom tempers, widths, or machined parts are quoted case by case.

¿Proporcionan certificados de prueba de fábrica (MTC)?

Yes. An MTC reporting chemistry and mechanical properties for the supplied lot is provided with every order.

Can Linsy handle processing and finishing?

Yes. We offer CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing so parts can be delivered closer to finished form.

Which standards do you supply to?

Commonly ASTM B209/B221/B210, EN 485/573/755, JIS H4000, and GB/T 3190/3880, among others. Confirm the exact standard when requesting a quote.
