ALLOY DATA SHEET


EN-AW 6060[AlMgSi]
(Type: General extrusion alloy)
The alloy EN AW-6060 is a widely used extrusion alloy, suitable for applications where no special strength properties
are required. Parts can be produced with a very good surface quality, suitable for many coating operations. Typical
application fields are furniture, finishing materials, windows and doors, carbody finishing, façade construction, lighting
columns and flagpoles, architecture, and food industry.

forming operation and artificially aged, T6-Solution heat treated, quenched and artificially aged, T66-cooled from an elevated
temperature forming operation and artificially aged to a condition with higher mechanical properties through special control of
manufacturing processes. (T6/T66 properties can be achieved by press quenching)

Weldability1
Gas: 3 TIG: 2 MIG: 2
Typical filler materials (EN ISO18273): SG-AlMg5Cr(A) or AlSi5, and AlMg3 when the product has to be anodised. Due
to the heat input during welding the mechanical properties will be reduced by approximately 50% (ref. EN1999-1).
