The latest research shows that the future demand for aluminum sheets will grow at an unprecedented rate. 2014 and 2015 are considered a turning point in the automotive industry from traditional steel to aluminum and other lightweight materials, including the use of aluminum instead of advanced high strength steel (AHSS).
In general, the use of aluminum and other lightweight materials will become a significant feature of heavy vehicles, such as pickups, SUV, etc. The AHSS is likely to continue to be used in portable vehicles, which can reduce the body weight of about 100 kg.
6063-T6 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mg alloy sheet. So the main content is Mg. It has high strength, good processing-ability and weld-ability, as well as good resistance to correction. Besides, it can be heat treated. The processing procedures and technology of 6063-T6 aluminum sheet are pretty complicated comparing with other common alloy.
