Scope Aluminium alloy 6060 is a medium strength heat treatable alloy with a strength slightly lower than 6005A. It has very good corrosion resistance, very good weldability and good cold formability. It is commonly used for complex cross sections and has very good anodizing response. Application This material is used for architectural sections for windows, doors and curtain walls, truck and trailer flooring, pneumatic installation and railway applications, irrigation, heating and cooling pipes, furniture and office equipment, heat sink sections, electronic modules and electro-motor housings and interior fittings, frame systems, lighting, ladder, railings and fences.
