6062 aluminum coil is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy belonging to the Al-Mg-Si (6xxx) series. It is known for its good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior machinability compared with standard 6061 alloy. Due to its higher silicon content, 6062 aluminum sheet offers improved chip-breaking performance, making it especially suitable for precision machining and structural applications.
