1. Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: The addition of elements such as magnesium and silicon in 6063 T5 aluminum alloy provides good resistance to various chemicals. This allows the alloy to maintain a long service life in humid or corrosive environments.
2. Good Oxidation Resistance
Good Oxidation Resistance: 6063 T5 aluminum alloy can naturally form a dense oxide film when exposed to air. This oxide film effectively protects the base material from further oxidation and corrosion.
3. Stability in High-Temperature Environments
Stability in High-Temperature Environments: This alloy maintains stable chemical properties in high-temperature environments, making it less likely to undergo chemical reactions and thus preserving its structural and performance stability.
Aluminum Doors, Windows, and Curtain Wall Frames: Used for the frames of doors, windows, and curtain walls in buildings, providing high wind pressure resistance, assembly performance, corrosion resistance, and decorative effect.
