6061 T6 Aluminum Sheets

6061 aluminum sheet summarize：

Alloy 6061 aluminum sheet are one of the most versatile and widely used of the heat treatable alloys. This wrought tooling plate exhibits excellent machinability, weldability, and medium strength. Though less strong then most of the 2xxx and 7xxx alloys, 6061 is typically selected where welding or brazing is required or for its high corrosion resistance in all tempers. It has exceptional joining characteristics, good acceptance to anodizing and is easily cold worked and formed in the annealed condition.

6061 aluminum sheet Typical Mechanical Properties：

T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 290 MPa (42,000 psi) and yield strength of at least 240 MPa (35,000 psi). More typical values are 310 MPa (45 ksi) and 270 MPa (39 ksi), respectively. In thicknesses of 6.35 mm (0.250 in) or less, it has elongation of 8% or more; in thicker sections, it has elongation of 10%. T651 temper has similar mechanical properties. The typical value for thermal conductivity for 6061-T6 at 25 °C (77 °F) is around 152 W/m K. A material data sheet defines the fatigue limit under cyclic load as 97 MPa (14,000 psi) for 500,000,000 completely reversed cycles using a standard RR Moore test machine and specimen. 

6061 aluminum sheet Application:

6061 Aluminum Sheet are frequently found in aircraft construction. Alloy 6061-T6 is perhaps the most common grade of Aluminum because of its good machinability and weldability

6061-T6 is used for:

♦bicycle frames and components.
♦many fly fishing reels.
♦the Pioneer plaque was made of this alloy.
♦the secondary chambers and baffle systems in firearm sound suppressors (primarily pistol suppressors for reduced weight and improved mechanical functionality), while the ♦primary expansion chambers usually require 17-4PH or 303 stainless steel or titanium.
♦The upper and lower receivers of many non mil-spec AR-15 rifle variants.
♦Many aluminum docks and gangways are constructed with 6061-T6 extrusions, and welded into place.
♦Material used in some ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers
♦Many parts for remote controlled model aircraft, notably helicopter rotor components.
