6061 T6 aluminum bar is a heat-treated aluminum alloy product offering high strength, corrosion resistance and good machinability for aerospace, automotive, construction, engineering and industrial applications
6061 aluminum alloy is a heat-treatable 6xxx-series alloy primarily containing magnesium and silicon
It offers a good combination of strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, weldability, and toughness.
Typical chemical composition includes:
Mg: 0.80–1.20%
Si: 0.40–0.80%
Cu: 0.15–0.40%
Cr: 0.04–0.35%
Fe: Up to 0.70%
Zn: Up to 0.25%
Mn: Up to 0.15%
6061-T6 hardness is typically around 95 HB (Brinell), depending on product form and applicable specification
6061-T6 is solution heat-treated and artificially aged for increased strength.
6061-T651 includes additional stress relieving through controlled stretching, making it suitable for applications where machining stability and reduced distortion are important
The Mg₂Si phase provides precipitation hardening and contributes to the alloy’s strength.
6061 aluminum has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for industrial and outdoor applications
It can be easily machined, welded, cut, drilled, milled, and fabricated
Aluminum is lightweight, with a density of approximately 2.70 g/cm³, while providing good thermal and electrical conductivity
