More Information
Summary:The present invention is directed to a 6xxx series aluminum alloy composition, comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of (by weight %) of 0.5-1.5% Si, 0.1-0.7% Cu, 0.5-1.5% Mg, 0.3-1.2% Zn, 0.05-0.35% Cr and allowable impurities of 0.8% Fe, .5_ 0.8% Mn, 5.. 0.15% Zr, 5_ 0.15% Ti, with other elements restricted as unavoidable impurities limited to 0.05% each and 0.15% total with the balance being aluminum. This 6xxx series aluminum alloy is capable of being produced with high amounts of post-consumer recycled material which significantly reduces environmental impact from producing this material, while still meeting and in most cases exceeding material attribute requirements for general engineering applications.
