What is 6061 Aluminum Coil
6061 Aluminum Coil is the aluminum alloy of 6061 rolled into coils. With magnesium and silicon as the primary alloying elements, this alloy offers high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior weldability. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, where durability and lightweight materials are important.
Product Properties
We can provide aluminum coil 6061 in temper O, T4, T6, T651. Pre-tempered grade 6061-O (annealed) has the greatest machinability and is ideal for processes such as molding and welding because it is in a soft and flexible state. Tempered grade 6061-T6 aluminum coil undergoes a heat treatment process known as a solid solution, followed by artificial aging, resulting in a high-strength material with increased hardness. In addition, 6061-T651 undergoes further stress relieving and tensile treatment followed by artificial aging, which helps to reduce internal stresses and improve dimensional stability. As a result, 6061-T651 is particularly suitable for applications requiring precise tolerances and high-performance durability under stress.
For each temper, the product size may vary, so don't hesitate to get in touch with our sales team for your requirements.
