6061 T4/T6/T651/6511 aluminium blad

What Is 6061 Aluminum Sheet?

6061 is one of the most widely used heat-treatable aluminum alloys. In sheet form it offers an excellent balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for both fabricated structures and machined parts. The T6 temper delivers the highest strength, while O and T4 are preferred when forming or welding come first.

Available 6061 Aluminum Sheet Products

Sheet & Plate

6061 sheet and plate are supplied in thicknesses from 0.5 mm up to 150 mm, with widths of 1000 – 3000 mm and lengths of 1000 – 6000 mm. Thin gauge is typically supplied in O or T6; thicker plate is commonly T651 (stress-relieved by stretching).

Specificaties en gelijkwaardige benamingen

• AA / UNS: 6061 (A96061)
• EN AW: EN AW-6061 (AlMg1SiCu)
• Common standards: ASTM B209, EN 485, GB/T 3880, JIS H4000

Chemische samenstelling

Mechanische eigenschappen per hardingsgraad

The values below are typical room-temperature properties for 6061 and are representative of extruded, drawn, or rolled product. Exact numbers vary with section size and product form; final inspection is reported on the MTC.

Gids voor het kiezen van de juiste temperatuur

• O: fully softened; best for deep drawing and welding where strength is secondary.
• T4: solution heat-treated and naturally aged; good formability with moderate strength.
• T6: solution heat-treated and artificially aged; maximum strength for structural use.
• T651: T6 with stress relief by stretching; improved dimensional stability for machined plate.

Belangrijkste kenmerken

Strength and Weight

6061-T6 reaches about 310 MPa tensile strength at roughly one-third the density of steel, giving a strong strength-to-weight ratio for transport and structural parts.

Lasbaarheid

6061 welds well with TIG and MIG processes. Welded zones lose some strength locally, so design allowances are common for load-bearing joints.

Corrosiebestendigheid

Good general corrosion resistance; T6 performs well in atmospheric and mild industrial environments. Anodizing further improves surface protection.

Toepassingen

• Bicycle frames and sporting goods
• Architectural panels and railings
• Marine and ship-building fittings
• Heat exchangers and welded assemblies
• Machine parts and consumer goods

Opmerkingen over bewerking en oppervlakteafwerking

• Verspaning: good in T6; use sharp tooling and appropriate coolant.
• Vormen: O and T4 form more easily than T6; observe minimum bend radii.
• Lassen: 4043 or 5356 filler is typical; post-weld heat treatment is rarely used.
• Finishing: anodizing and powder coating are standard; avoid contamination before anodizing.

Kwaliteitsdocumenten en inspectie

• Mill Test Certificate (MTC): every shipment includes an MTC reporting chemical analysis and mechanical results against the ordered specification.
• Inspectie: dimensional checks, visual surface inspection, and mechanical sampling are carried out before dispatch.
• Normen: material can be supplied to ASTM, EN, GB/T, or JIS requirements on request.
• Third-party testing: SGS or other nominated laboratory reports can be arranged when required by the project.

6061 Aluminum Sheet FAQ

What is the difference between 6061 T6 and T651 sheet?

T6 is solution heat-treated and artificially aged. T651 is the same热处理 condition with an added stress-relief stretch, which reduces residual stress and improves dimensional stability after machining.

Can 6061 sheet be welded?

Yes. It is one of the more weldable heat-treatable alloys; 4043 or 5356 filler is commonly used, though the weld zone is softer than the base T6 material.

Is 6061 sheet suitable for marine use?

It performs well in many marine applications, though 5xxx alloys are often preferred for continuously wetted structures. Proper finishing helps longevity.

Veelgestelde vragen over bestellingen in het algemeen
