What Is 6016 Aluminum

The commonly used aluminum alloys in automotive applications are 6082, 6016, 6060, 6101, 6111 and 6061 aluminum sheet. For example, European automobile manufacturers generally use 6016 aluminum plate with better forming properties as the ABS plate; American automobile manufacturers use 6111 aluminum with sufficient strength for body in white.

6016 aluminum is a kind of American deformed aluminum alloy. It has good forming properties,medium strength, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, light weight, excellent anodizing effect and good bake hardening properties, which is widely used for hood cover, car door, truck lid, roof panel,etc.

Applications of 6016 Aluminum Sheet

• Through heat treatment and pre-stretching process, 6016 aluminum sheet is widely used in spacecraft components and aircraft fuselage frames, rotors, wall panels and landing gear pillars and other important lightweight structural components.

• It can be used in various parts and bodies of automobiles. An important indicator to measure the hemming performance of 6016 aluminum sheet is the bending limit. Generally speaking, 6016 aluminum with O temper is suitable for various bending processing.
