I'm sure you know that the 6000-series alloys are most frequently used for extrusion. Commonly AA6060, 6061, 6063, 6182 and 6005.
Silicon-Magnesium alloys provide a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, machinability, and surface finish for your customers extruded applications.
Applications include transportation, architectural, consumer products and electrical. Silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) are the major alloying elements in this series due to the precipitation strengthening mechanism.
Alberg has a unique offering for the 6xxx series extrusion billets, balancing the Si and Mg ratio which can give your customer a 25% extrusion speed increment while still meeting the AA chemical specifications. Interesting!
On site support and 'boots on the ground' with your extruder, I'm sure you will be pleased with this performance.
