6000 Series Aluminum Alloy: Key Properties & Specifications

1. Chemical Composition

6000 series alloys are magnesium-silicon based (Mg: 0.4–1.5%, Si: 0.2–1.8%) with additions of copper, chromium, and manganese.

Grade	Aluminum (%)	Magnesium (Mg) (%)	Silicon (Si) (%)	Copper (Cu) (%)	Chromium (Cr) (%)
6061	Bal.	0.8–1.2	0.4–0.8	0.15–0.40	0.04–0.35
6063	Bal.	0.45–0.9	0.2–0.6	≤0.10	≤0.10
6082	Bal.	0.6–1.2	0.7–1.3	≤0.10	≤0.25
6101	Bal.	0.30–0.6	0.3–0.7	≤0.05	≤0.03

Trace elements (Fe, Zn, Ti) vary by grade. Request full material datasheets for details.
