The body of iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus are made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, as well as many Chinese smart phone adopted aluminum-magnesium alloy, such as MEIZU MX5, HUIWEI P8 and vivo X6 Plus and so on.

According to a introduction form haomei  professional aluminum technical staff, the tensile strength value of aluminum alloy can reach to a range of 200~600 MPa, its specific tenacity is better than many alloy steel, so it is an ideal structural material, and AL6063 aluminum alloy and AL7075 aluminum alloy is widely used in smart phone. As the increasing demand of lightweight phone, mobile phone's manufacturer more prefer to use the aluminum allot with a higher intensity material, like 6061 aluminum alloy6013 aluminum alloy and series 7 material, and the iPhone7 chosen the series 7 aluminum alloy.
There are some concrete performances of AL7075-T6 aluminum sheet ,
density : 2.81
intensity of tension : 530 MPa
yield strength : 480 MPa
HV hardness : 175
poisson's ratio : 0.33
Relative to stainless steel , the advantages of aluminum-magnesium alloy is more outstanding. First, aluminum alloy is more elegant. Second, aluminum alloy is light in weight, the proportion is about one-third of stainless steel. Moreover, aluminum alloy has a good dying ability, this is the reason why so many colorful phones spring up in the market. Most important, aluminum alloy is antistatic, environmental and nontoxic, can stand a high temperature and will not leaving any fingerprints, so it usual used in aerospace, ships, cars, medical facilities and so on.
