Family: Aluminum Alloy
Magnesium-Silicon Alloy (Al-Mg-Si). AA designation 6016.
Overview
Developed for car bodies, AA 6016 is an aluminium–magnesium–silicon alloy (0.25–0.6% Mg, 1.0–1.5% Si) with extra silicon to strengthen its paint-bake hardening response, so the metal gains strength during the automotive painting cycle. It forms excellently in the T4 condition and develops high dent resistance after paint curing. That behaviour makes it a standard for outer body panels such as hoods, doors, and fenders, where appearance and dent resistance are critical.

Description
AA 6016 is an automotive-grade aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy (0.25–0.6% Mg, 1.0–1.5% Si) with extra silicon to enhance paint-bake hardening response, allowing the alloy to gain strength during automotive painting operations. It offers excellent formability in T4 condition and develops high dent resistance after paint curing. The alloy is predominantly used in automobile outer body panels, including hoods, doors, and fenders where appearance and dent resistance are critical.
