Welcome Alloy 6005A

Admin Interbrucke

Aluminium alloy 6005A is a medium strength alloy. It’s heat treatable with excellent corrosion resistance. Alloy 6005A can sometimes be used interchangeably with alloy 6061, 6005A though has better extrusion characteristics and a better mill surface finish. It is difficult to produce thin-wall or complicated extrusions in 6005. 6005A tube has very good bending properties.
Applications 6005 and 6005A can be used for furniture, ladders, bus profile structures and other profiles which need greater strength compare to what given by alloy 6063

Aluminium History

Admin Interbrucke

In the old days Greek, Romans, and Chinese used earthenware clays which contains aluminium for pottery. In 1761 De Morveau introduce the name “alumine” for this particular material. Then in 1808 Sir Humphry Davy succeed in introducing the existence of this metal. In 1825 a physicist and chemist from Denmark, Henry Christian Oersted succeed in synthesizing pure aluminium. In 1827 Freidrich Wohler managed to achieve what Oersted do in synthesizing pure aluminium but with different method. From this point aluminium started to be used for commercial purpose. During its early period, aluminium was worth more than gold as it’s hard to synthsize pure aluminium. It continues until in 1886, two young scientist Charles Heroult and Martin Hall succeeded to obtain aluminium from aluminium oxides (alumina). The name of this process was called Hall-Heroult. This is the turning point which allowed the aluminium to be mass produced with affordable cost and used across different kind of industries as we know today
