6061 Aluminum Plate: The All-Rounder for Industrial Manufacturing

As a representative of Al-Mg-Si heat-treatable alloys, 6061 aluminum plate stands out with balanced strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. Certified by IATF 16949 and ASTM B209, it has become the first choice for lightweight and high-reliability applications worldwide.

Core Advantages

- Balanced Performance: T6 temper offers tensile strength 310-350MPa and elongation 8-12%, with density only 2.70g/cm³, achieving excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

- Excellent Surface Adaptability: Anodizing creates dense film, enhancing corrosion resistance by 3x; spray coating and coloring effects meet diverse decorative needs.

- Superior Workability: Easy for stamping, welding (strength retention ≥80% after TIG/MIG welding), and precision machining, with minimal deformation after cutting.

- Cost-Effective: More affordable than 7075 alloy, while satisfying most industrial requirements.

Key Application Fields

- Automotive: Door panels, wheel hubs, and chassis parts, reducing vehicle weight by 30%+ to improve fuel efficiency.

- Electronics: Heat sinks and device casings, with thermal conductivity 167W/(m·K) for efficient heat dissipation.

- Aerospace: Aircraft wing components and engine parts, leveraging high specific strength and stability.

- Medical Equipment: Surgical instrument frames and rehabilitation aids, passing biocompatibility tests.

- Construction: Curtain walls, door frames, and decorative rails, resisting atmospheric corrosion for over 20 years.
