6014 aluminum 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.
Available forms: sheet / coil / plate / tube / bar / profile
Common tempers: O / T4 / T6
Processing support: cutting, CNC machining, anodizing, polishing
Quality documents: MTC report with every order
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.

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.
6014 forms, draws, and bends cleanly in O and T4, suiting complex body-panel geometries.
Low coarse-particle content gives a smooth painted or anodized appearance for visible parts.
Strength increases during the paint-cure cycle, a key advantage for automotive body sheet.
Performs well in typical atmospheric and automotive environments.
Readily welded by TIG/MIG; post-weld strength recovery depends on temper and heat input.
6014 is supplied in heat-treatable tempers and supports standard aluminum fabrication:
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:
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.
Linsy Aluminum is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer with more than 20 years of experience supplying 1xxx–8xxx series aluminum to automotive, electronics, general engineering, and construction customers. We support both prototype and production volumes with CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing under one roof.
The following resources support specification and procurement decisions for this alloy:
Yes. 6014 is a heat-treatable 6xxx alloy supplied in O, T4, and T6 tempers.
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.
Yes. 6014 anodizes to a clean, uniform finish and is suitable for decorative anodizing on visible components.
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.
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.
Yes. An MTC reporting chemistry and mechanical properties for the supplied lot is provided with every order.
Yes. We offer CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and polishing so parts can be delivered closer to finished form.
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.
