Aluminium alloy EN AW 6005A

The ‘A’ in EN AW 6005A indicates a variation of the base alloy 6005. It signifies that a slight modification has been made to the chemical composition or properties of the alloy to enhance specific characteristics.

Compared to the 6060 and 6063 alloys, the 6005A alloy offers excellent formability and corrosion resistance, but it is less superior in terms of surface finish quality.

The 6005A alloy is often used in structural applications such as ladders, railway and truck construction, and marine structures. The alloy is highly weldable and possesses high strength. It is ideal for heavily loaded parts with cosmetic requirements.
