061 Aluminum Plate is widely used across multiple industries due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Common applications include:
Aerospace components such as aircraft frames, structural panels, and fuselage parts.
Automotive and transportation applications, including chassis components, truck beds, trailers, and automotive frames.
Structural and construction projects, including bridges, platforms, walkways, and building frameworks.
Industrial machinery and equipment, such as tooling plates, jigs, molds, and machine bases.
Marine applications, including boat hulls, decks, and other corrosion-resistant structural parts.
Custom fabrication projects that require precision, durability, and lightweight material.
Its versatility makes 6061 Aluminum Plate ideal for situations where a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication is required.
High Strength: Particularly in T6 and T651 tempers, it offers excellent tensile and yield strength suitable for structural applications.
Good Corrosion Resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments.
Lightweight: With a density of approximately 2.70 g/cm³, it provides a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Excellent Machinability and Weldability: Easy to cut, drill, machine, and weld without compromising strength.
Versatile Tempers: Available in O (annealed), T4, T6, and T651, offering options for different strength and formability requirements.
Dimensional Stability: Especially in T651 temper, which reduces residual stresses and warping during machining or fabrication.
Surface Finish Options: Mill finish, brushed or satin finishes, with optional anodizing or protective coatings for enhanced durability and appearance.
Standards Compliance: Manufactured according to ASTM B209 and other international standards, ensuring consistent chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional accuracy.
