6061 Aluminum Sheet

1. Aerospace industry: The application of aircraft components, wings, and fuselage components, with high strength to weight ratio, is very suitable for the requirements of this industry.
2. Automotive industry: The application of 6061 aluminum alloy in frames, wheels, engine parts, etc. has strong structural integrity and durability.
3. Marine industry: It is very suitable for applications such as hull, deck, and marine accessories. 6061 aluminum plate has strong corrosion resistance and can maintain good characteristics in harsh marine environments.
4. Construction industry: Structural integrity, weldability, formability, and heat treatability are the advantages and characteristics of 6061 aluminum sheet suitable for the construction industry, which are highly loved by people.
5. Electrical industry: 6061 aluminum plate has good conductivity, which is about 43% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), making it widely used in the electrical industry.
6. Sports equipment: Bicycle frame, golf club head and other sports equipment, 6061 aluminum alloy with high strength and light weight, is the preferred metal material for sports equipment.

1. Strength and durability: 6061 aluminum plate has a good high strength to weight ratio and excellent structural integrity, making it suitable for applications that require strength and durability. Especially in the aerospace, automotive, and marine industries, it can withstand harsh environments and maintain long-lasting characteristics.
2. Corrosion resistance: 6061 alloy has strong corrosion resistance, containing magnesium and silicon elements, forming an oxidizing protective layer on the surface to prevent corrosion and rusting. It is an ideal material choice for outdoor applications and humid environments.
3. Weldability and formability: This aluminum alloy has high weldability, making it easy to connect with other materials and form various shapes, providing a good material choice for the manufacturing of components in different industries.
4. Heat treatable: 6061 aluminum plate can undergo heat treatment, which can be strengthened through heat treatment processes such as precipitation hardening. Further enhancing its mechanical properties, suitable for higher strength and demanding applications.

6061 T6 and 6061 T651 aluminum plates have high strength to weight ratio and strong adaptability in various industries.

The difference between T6 and T651 is that generally speaking, the internal stress of T6 will be greater and it will deform during processing. The most suitable processing state should be T651, which stretches on the basis of T6 to eliminate internal stress.

Our factory is located in Huiguo Town, Gongyi City, Henan Province, China. We produce and develop aluminum products, including 6061 aluminum plate, for customers across a range of industries.

We continually improve product quality with customer requirements and practical use in mind. You are welcome to visit our factory in China and contact us to discuss your requirements.

The available 6061 tempers are O, F, T4, T6 and T651. Specify the required temper when requesting a quotation; these designations describe material conditions, not processing temperatures.

T6 and T651

T6 and T651 are heat-treated conditions used for 6061 sheet and plate. The T651 process includes solution heat treatment, stretching to reduce residual stress, and artificial aging.

When comparing T6 and T651 for machining, consider the role of stretching in reducing residual stress. Send the required temper, dimensions and intended fabrication process with your inquiry.
