EN AW-6016 / ISO:
Composition: AlXXXX
Applications: Automotive. car body sheet, preferred for outer panels. Polymer laminated products for architectural applications (Alucobond).
Characteristic Properties: 6000 series include Al-Mg-Si and Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloys available in sheet and extruded form. They achieve their properties by thermal treatment which can be adjusted to provide combinations of strength and formability conditions with good corrosion resistance and weldability. Because the properties are obtained by thermal treatment, fusion welding reduces the non-welded properties by up to 50%. Alloy 6016: very good formability with low spring back, very good hemming capability, good weldability, high corrosion resistance, stretcher-strain free surfaces, stabilized formability in T4 temper, generally well balanced properties (formability, strength, bake hardening).
Precautions and Warnings: Supplied in special temper conditions for particular applications.
