What is 6061 aluminum properties?

6061 aluminum sheet is a popular material due to its strength, low weight, formability and resistance to moisture, heat and corrosion. 6061 aluminum sheet has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi making it ideal for a wide range of applications. 6061 aluminum is the most widely used aluminum grade.

Aluminum sheet 6061 T4 is used in many types of industrial applications, including: Aircraft panels Automotive panels Trailer frames Packaging And more

6061 aluminum sheet and 6063 aluminum sheet are both belong to the 6000 series aluminum alloy, they are similar but still have difference. The main alloying elements of 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon. 6061 aluminum has more alloy elements content than 6063 aluminum. With excellent processing performance, excellent weldability, extrusion and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, toughness. Easy to polish, coated, and anodized, is a typical extruded alloy.
