Aluminum 6061-T651
Material type: Metal, Corrosion resistance, Non-magnetic
Aluminum 6061-T651 is commonly used in aerospace, automotive and construction industry, as it is valued for its high strength, excellent machinability, and good weldability. The "T651" designation indicates that the material has been heat-treated to a specific level of hardness.
Process compatibility
Material Color
Silver white
Material advantages
It has excellent processing performance, welding properties and electroplating capabilities, and also possesses certain corrosion resistance and toughness. After processing, it is usually not prone to deformation. It is applied in aerospace, shipbuilding, and mechanical equipment manufacturing.
Material shortcomings
Not suitable for ultra-high load and high rigidity extreme working conditions. The plasticity is average. Not suitable for large-angle bending or deep stretching forming.
Recommended description
6061-T651 is pre-stretched to eliminate residual stresses from quenching, making it highly resistant to deformation during precision CNC machining of thick plates. It offers excellent dimensional stability, good corrosion resistance, and superior anodizing performance, making it ideal for high-precision structural components under medium loads.
