I am looking for a simple table comparing the mechanical properties - UTS, YS, Elongation, Hardness and microstructure of conventional diecast and thixo/rheo cast aluminum alloys of the series 6000. Although there are many papers on the subject from which this may be extractable, I though it may be quicker to ask the community for this basic information.

These are all in the ASM Handbook.  You can look in the Desk Edition or Volume 2 for nonferrous alloys. (I think the Desk Edition is free as part of  your ASM membership).
