6061 Series Aluminum 6061-T6 6061-T4 Alloy

6061 Series Aluminum Alloy

6061 series aluminum belongs 6000 series Al-Mg-Si alloy. Since Mg and Si are the main alloy components, 6061 aluminum alloy shows excellent properties, especially weldability, as well as high strength, corrosion resistance, formability, surface treatment effect, etc. In addition, 6061 aluminum plate also belongs heat treatment alloy. There is 6061 aluminum commonly available in pre-tempered grades, such as 6061-O (annealed), and tempered grades such as 6061-T6 (solutionized and artificially aged), and 6061-T651 (solutionized, stress-relieved stretched and artificially aged).

6061 Series Aluminum 6061-t6 and 6061-t4 Alloy Plates

6061 Series Aluminum Properties

Machinability
6061 series aluminum has good machinability in harder T4 and T6 tempers. It can be machined in an annealed temper.
Weldability
6061 aluminum alloy is highly weldable. It can well use other welding methods such as TIG and MIG. Rapid recovery of strength, and no weld stress.
Cold Working
6061 aluminum alloy is cold worked in the O temper condition. It can also be cold-formed in the T 4 and T 6 tempers.
Forming
6061 aluminum alloy is easily to form and work in the annealed condition. The standard methods are used to perform bending, stamping, deep drawing, and spinning operations.
Physical Properties
6061 alloy has Density 2.7 g/cm3 0.0975 lb/in3, Melting point 588°C 1090°F.

Application of 6061 Series Aluminum Alloy
