Lega di alluminio 6010

What Is 6010 Aluminum?

Alluminio 6010 is a 6xxx-series heat-treatable sheet alloy that adds a little copper to the magnesium-silicon base, giving a good mix of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. It is most often used as automotive body sheet in the T4 (solution-heat-treated, naturally aged) condition, where it forms readily and then can be paint-baked to higher strength.

Guida alla scelta della tempra

T4 is the forming condition for body panels: soft enough to deep-draw and stretch, then strengthened by paint-bake aging.

T6 gives maximum strength for structural brackets and parts that are not heavily formed.

O is used where maximum formability is needed before any aging.

Caratteristiche principali

Formabilità

6010 forms well in T4, supporting complex automotive outer and inner panels.

La forza

Moderate strength after aging, sufficient for non-safety-critical body structure.

Resistenza alla corrosione

Good general resistance; compatible with standard automotive coatings.

Saldabilità

Weldable, but as with all 6xxx alloys the weld zone softens; design accordingly.

Applicazioni

• Automotive outer body panels
• Structural sheet components
• Welded assemblies and brackets
• Trailer and container bodies
• Architectural and general sheet fabrication

Note sulla lavorazione e sulla finitura superficiale

6010 is supplied mainly as sheet and is formed in T4 then aged (often during paint bake). Welding uses 4043/5356 filler with allowance for HAZ softening. It machines and cuts well in T6.

Documenti di qualità e ispezione

• Mill Test Certificate (MTC): supplied with every order, reporting actual chemistry and mechanical properties of the delivered lot.
• Dimension and visual inspection: size, flatness, surface, and edge condition are checked against the agreed specification.
• Third-party inspection: SGS or equivalent reports can be arranged on request for specific orders.
• Certificazioni: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety).

6010 Aluminum FAQ

6010 vs 6016 / 6111 for auto body?

6010 is an older body-sheet choice with good formability; 6016 and 6111 are later grades with tuned bake-hardening. Pick based on the OEM spec and forming severity.

Is 6010 supplied as wire?

6010 is primarily a sheet/plate grade. Welding wire for 6xxx joints is usually 4043 or 5356, not 6010.

What temper should I specify for forming?

T4 for panels that need deep drawing or stretching; T6 for parts that are cut and machined rather than formed.

Domande frequenti generali sugli ordini

Qual è la quantità minima d'ordine?

Minimum order quantities depend on the form and temper. For common sheet, plate, and extrusion sizes we can often accept small lots; custom sizes and tempers are quoted per request. Contact us with your bill of materials for a firm MOQ.

What lead time can I expect?

For stock or regularly produced sizes, typical lead time is 10 to 60 days depending on quantity, temper, and any additional processing. Custom or rarely ordered specs may take longer; we confirm the date in the quotation.

Do you provide mill test certificates?

Yes. Every shipment includes an MTC reporting the actual chemistry and mechanical results for the supplied lot. SGS or other third-party inspection reports can be arranged when needed.

Can you cut to size or add processing?

Yes. We offer cut-to-length, precision sawing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and surface finishing (anodizing, polishing, brushing) so the material arrives closer to your finished part.

A quali standard fornite?

We regularly work to ASTM, EN, GB, and JIS specifications. If your project references a specific standard or designation, mention it in the RFQ so we match the requirement.

Come posso richiedere un preventivo?

Send your alloy, temper, form, dimensions, quantity, and required standard. We return a quotation with pricing, lead time, and the inspection documents included.
