Introduction to JY Aluminum Alloy
JY's aluminum alloy brackets and screw products are made from the highest quality aluminum alloy materials, which undergo precise processing and strict quality control to ensure excellent tensile strength, wind resistance, and corrosion resistance, enabling them to be used in various harsh environments.
Additionally, our products also comply with the strictest international standards, ensuring the quality and safety of our products.
When selecting solar panel brackets, factors such as sustainability and safety are important considerations, and characteristics such as wind resistance and corrosion resistance are crucial selection criteria.
For example, in Taiwan's climate, the acidic and sulfur-containing nature of rainfall can easily cause non-aluminum material brackets to corrode.
Furthermore, the potential difference between non-aluminum material brackets and solar panels themselves can also cause corrosion, creating safety hazards for the brackets and screws.
The significant performance difference between choosing aluminum or non-aluminum materials can also be seen among different aluminum alloys.
Next, we will introduce the differences between the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy used by Jingyuan and other aluminum alloys：
1.Comparison of Alloy Mechanical Properties
A.Mechanical Properties of 6000 Series Alloy Metal
From the table on the left, it can be seen that the
6061-T6 series used by JY has a higher tensile strength than the commonly available C-shaped steel on the market (22-27kgf/mm2), with an excellent value of greater than 30kgf/mm2.
However, currently available 6005/6105-T5/6063-T5 have poor impact resistance. From the perspectives of safety and long-term use, these materials should not be used for structural purposes.

B. Other Ultra-Strong Alloy Metal Properties

7075-T6 is the material used for screws in our company, and it stands out among ultra-strong alloy metal properties, with values much higher than the 6066-T6 used for high-strength assembled structures and offshore structures.
2.Alloy Processing Comparison: Comparison of Wind Resistance Level for the Same Design

As can be seen from the chart again, the wind resistance level of the 6061-T6 aluminum alloy used by JY can reach level 17.
Compared to the 6005/6105-T5 available on the market, which have poor wind resistance and are not suitable for structural purposes, JY is the best choice for selecting solar brackets.
3.American Aluminum Industry (AA) Standard Specification
A. 6061-T5 and 6061-T6
The strength of AA6061 series alloy is at least twice as strong as 6063-T5 and is the most suitable material for products that emphasize safety and structural integrity, such as offshore structures, solar panel mounting brackets, road and rail transportation equipment, and so on.
However, it needs to undergo heat treatment to fully utilize its properties. Compared to the T6 process, T5 only relies on a low-temperature aging treatment at 190 degrees, and its strength is not stable. The 6061-T6 adopted by our company has undergone solution heat treatment and aging treatment to fully develop its performance, becoming a high-performance and impact-resistant construction material.
B.6063
6063-T5 is the most commonly used material for solar panel brackets on the market today, but its material properties are actually only suitable for products that emphasize appearance, such as aluminum doors and windows, computer heat dissipation parts, and so on. Compared to the strength performance of 6061-T6, it appears to be inadequate and is not suitable for structural products.
C. 6005/6105
6005/6105 falls between the strength of 6061-T6 and 6063-T5. Due to its lower copper content and poorer impact resistance, 6005/6105 is less commonly used worldwide and lacks widespread processing experience. Its strength is only stable under the T5 process at low temperatures of 190 degrees Celsius. It is typically recommended for use in applications such as ladders and TV antennas, and should not be used for construction or structural purposes.
