6005 Aluminum Sheet vs. 6061 Aluminum Sheet

Both 6005 and 6061 are 6-series aluminum alloys, but there are key differences between the two.

Alloy Composition

6005 Aluminum Sheet
The main components are aluminum, magnesium, and silicon, with magnesium content ranging from 0.4% to 0.6%, and silicon content ranging from 0.6% to 0.9%.
6061 Aluminum Sheet
Similarly composed of aluminum, magnesium, and silicon, but with magnesium content ranging from 0.8% to 1.2%, and silicon content ranging from 0.4% to 0.8%.

Features

6005 Aluminum Sheet
Known for high rust resistance and excellent weldability, it is suitable for gas welding, argon arc welding, spot welding, and roll welding. It offers medium strength and strong corrosion resistance but has poor cutting performance.
6061 Aluminum Sheet
It has higher strength, good weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for load-bearing structural materials and industrial aluminum profiles that require welding.

Applications

6005 Aluminum sheet
Commonly used for structural parts requiring higher strength than 6063 aluminum alloy, such as ladders and TV antennas.
6061 Aluminum sheet
Widely used in trucks, towers, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, and precision machining.
