Aluminum alloy 6005A is a versatile alloy that can be used for various applications. As a medium strength aluminum alloy, 6005A-T61 temper has mechanical property levels similar to 6061-T6, 6005-T5, and 6105-T5. 6005A should not be confused with 6005 due to a difference in manganese and chromium content. 6005A provides good corrosion resistance and finishing characteristics for anodizing or paint.
