The main alloy elements of 6XXX series alloys are magnesium and silicon AlMgSi1Cu, and form Mg2Si phase. A certain amount of manganese and chromium can neutralize the bad effect of iron; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc can be added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; a small amount of copper in
conductive materials can counteract the bad effect of titanium and iron on conductivity; zirconium or titanium can refine the grain and control the recrystallization group. In order to improve machinability, lead and bismuth can be added. Solid solution to Mg2Si in aluminum has the function of artificial aging hardening. High quality aluminium alloy produced by heat treatment and pre-stretching process can not be compared with 2XXX or 7XXX Series in strength, but its magnesium and silicon alloys have many characteristics, such as excellent machinability, excellent welding characteristics and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, compact and defect-free materials and easy throwing. Light, color film is easy, oxidation effect is excellent etc.
Typical Usage of
6061/6063/6101 seamless aluminium buspipe conductor
6061/6063/6101 seamless aluminium buspipe conductor are used primarily for outdoor
substations and switching structures where long spans between supports are required. The inherent rigidity of a tubular shape in all directions resists wind and ice loads, as well as the forces of short circuits. Since strength is a pimary requirement of
6061/6063/6101 seamless aluminium buspipe conductor, the higher-strength aluminum alloy are used.
