6063 Aluminum Sheet Plate for Automobile

6063 aluminum sheet plate also has certain applications in automobile manufacturing, but its use is not as extensive as 6061 aluminum sheet. The strength of 6063 automotive aluminum sheet is lower than that of 6061 automotive aluminum sheet. Its main advantages lie in its excellent extrusion performance and surface treatment performance. Commonly used states include O, T4, T5, T6, etc. It is mainly used for parts that require good surface treatment and complex cross-sectional shapes but have relatively low strength requirements, such as automobile door frames, window frames, front and rear bumpers, roof racks, etc.

◆Excellent extrusion performance: 6063 aluminum sheet has excellent extrusion performance, and can easily manufacture complex cross-sectional shapes and contours. This makes it very suitable for manufacturing automotive structural parts, frames and decorative strips, etc.

◆Good surface treatment performance: 6063 aluminum sheet can be easily anodized to produce a high-quality surface finish. This makes it an ideal choice for automotive interior and exterior decorative parts.

◆Good strength-to-weight ratio: Although not as strong as 6061 aluminum sheet, 6063 aluminum sheet still has a good strength-to-weight ratio, which helps to lightweight the car.

◆Excellent corrosion resistance: 6063 aluminum sheet has good corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of automotive parts.

◆Good weldability: 6063 aluminum sheet has excellent welding performance, which is convenient for the assembly and manufacture of automotive parts.

◆Excellent thermal conductivity: 6063 aluminum sheet has high thermal conductivity, which helps to dissipate heat and is suitable for some automotive parts that need heat dissipation, such as radiators and coolers.

◆Good machinability: 6063 aluminum sheet has good machinability and is convenient for various processing processes.

◆Environmental protection: As an aluminum plate, 6063 can be recycled and reused, which meets the requirements of the automotive industry for sustainable development.

• Decorative parts: 6063 aluminum plate is widely used in decorative parts of automobiles due to its excellent surface treatment performance. It can be easily anodized to produce a high-quality surface finish, suitable for making decorative strips, door frames, etc. inside and outside the car.
• Roof racks: Due to its good extrusion performance and medium strength, 6063 aluminum plate is used to make the crossbeams and brackets of roof racks.
• Window frames: 6063 aluminum plate has excellent extrusion performance and can be made into complex cross-sectional shapes, so it is often used in the manufacture of window frames.
• Body structure parts: Although the strength is lower than 6061, 6063 aluminum plate is also used in some body structure parts that do not require particularly high strength, such as some internal support structures.
• Pipe application: 6063 aluminum plate can be made into various pipes, which are used in the cooling system, air conditioning system and other pipelines of the car.
• Chassis parts: 6063 aluminum sheet is also used in some chassis parts with high requirements for lightness but relatively low strength.
• Electrical parts housing: Due to its good thermal conductivity and easy processing, 6063 aluminum sheet is also used to make the housing of some automotive electrical parts.
