1.Prodsuct Information
Prodsuct Name:6061 T6 aluminum extruded tube
Alloy:6061
Temper: T6
Prodsuction Method: Extruded
Shape: Round Tube
Material: Aluminum
6061 has most of the good qualities of aluminum, it is the least expensive and most versatile of the heat-treatable aluminum alloys. It offers good mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance, can be fabricated by most of the commonly used techniques.
In the annealed condition it has good workability. In the T4 condition, fairly severe forming operations may be accomplished. The full T6 properties may be obtained by artificial aging.
