Premium 6060 Aluminum Sheet / Plate – High Corrosion Resistance & Excellent Surface Finish
Product Description
6060 aluminum alloy is a medium-strength, heat-treatable alloy in the magnesium-silicon family (6000 series). It is very similar to the 6063 alloy but has slightly lower magnesium content, which enhances its extrudability and anodizing response.
Our 6060 aluminum sheets are manufactured to meet international standards (EN 573-3). Known for its exceptional surface quality, it is the preferred choice for architectural projects, complex decorative shapes, and applications requiring high resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Whether you need a mill finish, brushed, or anodized surface, our 6060 plates deliver consistent performance.

Key Advantages of 6060 Aluminum Plate
- Superior Anodizing Qualities: Ideal for decorative applications where a uniform, aesthetic surface is critical.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to environmental factors and chemicals, suitable for outdoor use.
- Great Formability: Can be easily cold-worked and formed into complex shapes in the annealed or T4 temper.
- High Weldability: Easily welded using standard methods like TIG or MIG without losing significant structural integrity.
- Good Machinability: Offers reliable performance for CNC milling and drilling operations.
Disadvantages / Limitations
- Strength: Lower mechanical strength compared to 6061 or 7075 alloys. Not recommended for ultra-high-stress structural components.
- Hardness: Susceptible to surface scratching if not handled with protective film during fabrication.
Main Applications
The versatility of 6060 Aluminum Sheet makes it popular across various industries:
- Architecture: Window frames, door sections, curtain walls, and interior decorations.
- Automotive: Internal trim, heat sinks, and lightweight structural parts.
- Electronics: Heat sinks for LED lighting and electronic enclosures.
- Industrial: Pneumatic systems, irrigation pipes, and furniture frames.
- Custom Fabrication: Signage, lighting fixtures, and decorative panels.
Packaging & Delivery
We ensure that every 6060 aluminum plate reaches you in perfect condition:
- Protective Film: PE or Laser film coating on the decorative side to prevent scratches.
- Waterproof Layer: Wrapped in moisture-proof paper or plastic film.
- Wooden Pallets: Secured on sturdy export-standard wooden pallets.
- Steel Stripping: Tightened with steel bands to prevent movement during sea or air freight.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is the difference between 6060 and 6063 aluminum?
A1: 6060 and 6063 are very similar. However, 6060 has slightly lower magnesium and silicon content, making it easier to extrude and slightly better for complex surface anodizing, though it has slightly lower strength than 6063.
Q2: Can 6060 aluminum sheet be used for marine environments?
A2: Yes, 6060 offers excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion. While 5083 is often preferred for direct seawater immersion, 6060 is excellent for coastal architectural structures.
Q3: Is 6060 aluminum heat treatable?
A3: Yes, it is a heat-treatable alloy. The most common tempers supplied are T4 (solution heat treated and naturally aged) and T6 (solution heat treated and artificially aged).
Q4: Do you offer custom cutting services?
A4: Absolutely. We provide precision CNC cutting, waterjet cutting, and shearing services to meet your specific dimensions.
