The strength and hardness of industrial aluminum profiles are important parameters to measure their performance, as follows:

Tensile strength: The tensile strength of industrial aluminum profiles refers to the strength that the material can withstand during the tensile process. For industrial aluminum profiles, tensile strength is an important indicator to measure its resistance to tensile failure. For example, the tensile strength of the industrial aluminum profile of 6063-T5 material is ≥205MPa

Yield strength: Yield strength refers to the stress when a material begins to produce plastic deformation during the process of being stressed. When the stress on the aluminum profile reaches the yield strength, it will begin to undergo irreversible deformation. Yield strength is also one of the important parameters to evaluate the strength of aluminum profiles.

Compressive strength: Compressive strength refers to the stress that a material can withstand during compression. In some application scenarios, industrial aluminum profiles may be subjected to compressive loads, so compressive strength is also an important parameter to consider.

Bending strength: The bending strength refers to the stress that the material can withstand during bending. For the beam, column and other structural parts made of aluminum profiles, the bending strength is the key index to measure its resistance to bending failure.

Hardness: Hardness is a measure of a material's ability to resist hard objects being pressed into its surface. The hardness of the industrial aluminum profile of 6063-T5 material is generally ≥8 degrees, and the hardness referred to here refers to the hardness of Wechsler

Hardness is an important factor affecting the wear resistance of industrial aluminum profiles.

Influence of alloy composition on strength and hardness: Different alloy composition will have a significant impact on the strength of aluminum profiles. For example, adding an appropriate amount of magnesium, silicon, copper and other alloying elements can improve the strength of aluminum profiles. In addition, the proportion and distribution of alloying elements will also affect the performance of aluminum profiles

The effect of processing on strength and hardness: The processing of aluminum profiles directly affects its hardness and wear resistance. The main processing includes extrusion, heat treatment, surface treatment and so on. Reasonable extrusion parameters can improve the grain refinement of the metal and its hardness and wear resistance
