Last Updated: 2019-01-14

6061 aluminum for aerospace and marine applications.Grade 6061 aluminum is one of our most popular aluminium alloys, and knowing why most customer perfer to chooseit can be difficult. So lets take a look at together.Designed for use in aerospace, fittings, valves, drive shafts, couplings, structural, signs, and marine applications.Aluminum 6061 is an aluminum alloy that has been precipitation-hardened and uses magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements.

6061 also possesses good weldability. 6061 is one of the most popular, general-use aluminum alloys and it is commonly used in extrusion processes. Depending on the temper, its mechanical properties can vary a great deal, making 6061 extremely versatile as well. One of the most common 6061 tempers is 6061 T6 aluminum sheet. T6 temper 6061 has a tensile strength of at least 290 MPa (42,000 psi) and yield strength of at least 240 MPa (35,000 psi).

The available sizes for the 6061 aluminum sheet are between .25 and 12 inches thick, between 48 and 96 inches wide and up to 240 inches long.As the largest manufacturer of aluminum mold sheet in China, Henan Signi Aluminum ships out millions of pounds of aluminum sheet, bars, foil, sheet, and structural shapes every year. No matter what the job requires, we’ve got an aluminum alloy that will perform at the highest level.Looking forward to have a further cooperation with you.
