(The chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys is supplied in percentage by mass. Limits are expressed as a maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum)

Aluminium alloy 6005 is a medium strength commercial alloy, it has a higher strength than alloys 6063 and 6060, but is harder to extrude. 6005 has good weldability and corrosion resistance. Although suitable for anodizing it will not provide a good finish as with alloys 6060 & 6063.

Applications

Aluminium alloy 6005 is often used in transport, structural engineering and precision engineering.

* Properties given are typical and should only be used for comparisons of alloys. Actual values will depend on section specification.
