Introduction to 6061 Aluminum Elbow

The 6061 aluminum elbows produced by our company is a high-quality aluminum alloy produced by the heat treatment pre-stretching process. Although its strength cannot be compared with the 2XXX series or the 7XXX series, its magnesium and silicon alloys have many characteristics. It has good processing performance, excellent welding and electroplating properties, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, compact and defect-free materials, easy to polish, easy color film and excellent oxidation effect.

The main alloying elements of the 6061 T6 aluminum elbows are magnesium and silicon. If a certain amount of manganese and chromium are contained, the bad effect of iron can be neutralized; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to increase the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing the corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the adverse effects of titanium and iron on conductivity; zirconium or titanium can refine grains and control recrystallized structure; In order to improve the machinability, lead and antimony can be added. The Mg2Si is solid-dissolved in aluminum, which gives the alloy an artificial age hardening function. 6061 aluminum alloy has medium strength.

6061 aluminum elbows storage and maintenance methods:
1. Long-term storage of aluminum elbows should be checked regularly to keep the surface of the processing clean, remove dirt, and store them neatly in a ventilated and dry place. It is strictly prohibited to be stacked or stored in the open air. Always keep the aluminum elbow dry and ventilated, keep the room clean and tidy, and store it according to the correct storage method.

2. Before installation, you must carefully check the various standards of the aluminum elbow, check whether it meets the requirements of use, eliminate the defects caused by the transportation process, and eliminate the dirt of the aluminum elbow, prepare for the installation, and everything is ready.

3. When installing, the aluminum elbow can be directly installed on the pipeline according to the connection mode, and installed according to the position used. Under normal circumstances, it can be installed at any position of the pipeline, but it is easy to operate. Note that the aluminum elbow can only be installed horizontally. The aluminum elbow should pay attention to the sealing when installing, to prevent leakage and affect the normal operation of the pipeline.

4. When the ball valve, globe valve and gate valve of the aluminum elbow are used, they are only fully open or fully closed. It is not allowed to adjust the flow to avoid the erosion of the sealing surface and accelerate the wear. The gate valve and the upper thread stop valve have a reverse sealing device, and the hand wheel is screwed to the uppermost position to prevent the medium from leaking from the packing. Control caliber: The aluminum elbow is produced by standard (DN10-DN150), 3A/DF standard, standard (1/2-6), standard (Ф12.7-Ф152.4), and produces aluminum bends of different quality and standard. Head, used in different fields, showing different use values.
