6061-t6 Sheet Properties

2022-02-10

6061-t6 sheet mainly contains two elements, magnesium and silicon besides of aluminum alloy. 6061 aluminum sheet is a cold-treated aluminum forging product suitable for applications with high requirements for corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. 6061 aluminum alloy have performance advantages of good usability, excellent interface characteristics, easy coating and good workability. 6061 t6 aluminum can be used on low voltage weapons and aircraft joints. Excellent interface characteristics, easy coating, high strength, good usability, strong corrosion resistance. Typical uses of 6061 aluminum alloy are aircraft parts, camera parts, couplers, marine accessories and hardware, electronic accessories and joints, decorative or various hardware, hinge heads, magnetic heads, brake pistons, hydraulic pistons, electrical accessories and valves components.

 
To 6061-t6 sheet product, 6061 stands for the 6061 aluminum alloy and t6 means solution treatment + artificial aging. In general, if there is no precise requirement for dimensional stability and elastic allowance, the T6 temper of 6061 aluminum can be selected. For precision workpieces, in order to avoid elastic recovery after processing and the size cannot be maintained, the T651 temper of 6061 aluminum sheet should be selected. 6061 t6 aluminum sheet has gradually replaced structural low carbon steel. With its excellent specific stiffness, corrosion resistance and easy processing characteristics, it can be used in mechanical parts, structural components, and cargo containers.
 
The quality stability and consistency of the 6061-t6 sheet is indispensable. The material's proprietary chemistry, casting and production techniques give the material excellent stability and consistency. High stability and consistency, reducing deformation and movement during sawing and machining. In addition, the consistency of the entire thickness of the 6061 aluminum sheet allows for easier and faster flexible machining of the metal, resulting in less rework and less scrap. And our superior batch-to-batch consistency enables customers to maintain a stable process in the production process, so you can develop standard procedures for machining and finishing operations.
