AMG6 (амг6)
AMG6 Aluminum Alloy: Superior Corrosion Resistance for Industrial Applications
AMG6 Aluminium is a high-strength aluminum–magnesium alloy (Al-Mg system) designed for applications that require exceptional corrosion resistance, toughness, and lightweight performance. Known for its outstanding mechanical strength combined with excellent weldability, AMG6 Aluminium is one of the most reliable alloys used across marine, aerospace, automotive, and structural engineering industries. This alloy is especially resistant to seawater and atmospheric corrosion, making it ideal for parts exposed to moisture, salt, and vibration. Compared to other magnesium-based aluminum alloys like AMG3 or AMG6, AMG6 Aluminium provides higher tensile strength while maintaining good formability.
