Aluminium Alloy: Its Applications and Properties
Your Industry’s Aluminium Machining Partner
One Center, Practical and Ready to Work With
Aluminium alloys are strong yet lightweight. They conduct heat and electricity well, resist rust, and can be anodized for added protection — making them ideal for industries like aerospace and packaging.
At One Dragon Aluminium, we machine these alloys to meet your specifications with care and consistency. Our in-house capabilities cover cutting, shaping, and finishing — helping you get your customized machining parts that suit your application needs.

Aluminum Alloy for Machining
| Grade | Typical Applications | Properties |
|---|---|---|
| 6061 | Molds, mechanical parts, bike frames, automotive parts | - One of the most widely used structural aluminum alloys - High strength, good weldability, and excellent corrosion resistance - Suitable for anodizing and various machining processes |
| 6063 | Curtain walls, door/window frames, railings | - One of the most commonly used architectural alloys - Excellent surface treatment compatibility (anodizing, electrophoresis, powder coating) - Very good formability and corrosion resistance; slightly lower strength than 6061 |
| 6005 | Industrial structures, transportation components | - Higher strength than 6063 and close to 6061 - Good extrudability for complex profiles - Good weldability and corrosion resistance |
| 6082 | Load-bearing structures, cranes, marine parts | - One of the highest strength grades in 6xxx series - Excellent corrosion resistance and machinability - Good weldability, ideal for heavy-duty structural use |
| 1050 | Electrical conductors, chemical equipment, cable sheathing | - High aluminum content (≥ 99.5%) with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity - Excellent corrosion resistance and workability - Low mechanical strength, not suitable for structural use |
| 1070 | Electrical components, foils, lighting reflectors | - Very high purity (99.7%) with excellent electrical properties - Bright surface and high corrosion resistance - Excellent for deep drawing, but low strength |
| 6005A | Structural profiles, ladders, lifting platforms | - Higher strength than 6005 and comparable to 6082 - Excellent weldability and corrosion resistance - Better heat-treating properties |
| 6060 | Window frames, radiators, decorative profiles | - Excellent extrusion and surface finish - Can be strengthened by heat treatment - Good formability and weldability with moderate strength |
| 6101 | Power transmission lines, busbars, cable trays | - Good balance between conductivity and mechanical strength - Suitable for anodizing - Good corrosion resistance |
| 6106 | Automotive trim, structural components | - Good extrusion and surface treatment performance - Suitable for car exterior and interior support parts - Moderate strength with excellent anodizing effect |
| 6261 | Railway parts, automotive structures | - Balanced strength and hardness - Good extrudability for complex shapes - Excellent weldability, suitable for structural parts |
| 6463 | Architectural trim, automotive trim, furniture edges | - Specially developed for high-brightness anodizing - Can achieve mirror-like surface finish - Good formability, attractive appearance but relatively low strength |
