Aluminum 6060 Product Guide
Applications | Aluminum 6060 Specifications | Mechanical and Chemical DataOverview
6060 aluminum is a medium strength alloy more closely related to 6063 than to 6061 but will have more magnesium than 6063. This alloy is mainly found in Europe with metric sizes and is commonly heat treated to a temper with higher strength but low ductility. 6060 alloy is very good for anodizing. The main alloy ingredients of 6060 aluminum are magnesium and silicon.
