Welcome Alloy 6005A
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
