Aluminum 6061 T4 T6 Sheet

Aluminum 6061 T4 Sheet is solution heat treated and naturally aged, resulting in somewhat reduced tolerance precision compared to Aluminum 6061 T6, which is artificially aged. T4 is also significantly less expensive than T6 and has a slightly lower ultimate tensile strength and yield strength but with a higher elongation %, which improves the formability of the T4 temper. Aluminum sheet 6061 T4 is also less expensive and easier to manufacture than T6. Aluminum T4 is solution heat treated and organically aged to a rather stable state.

6063 aluminum sheet is extremely similar to 6061 aluminum sheet. The primary alloying elements in 6063 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon, which have outstanding processing performance, weldability, mechanical characteristics, extrusion and plating, corrosion resistance, toughness, ease of polishing, upper coating, and anodizing effect. The most frequent tempers for aluminum sheet 6063 are T1, T5, and T6, and the ultimate tensile strength is the same with each temper. Aluminium sheet 6063 is 0.3 to 600 mm thick, 500 to 2600 mm wide, and 500 to 16000 mm long.

The 6061 aluminum sheet alloy is robust, easily machined, and weldable. Aluminum 6061 T6 alloys have double the strength of aluminium 6063 alloys. Aluminum 6061 has a maximum tensile strength of 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and a yield strength of 35,000 psi (241 MPa). Elongation is 8% or greater in thicknesses of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) or less and 10% in thicker portions. T651 temper has comparable mechanical characteristics. This is the alloy used to make the iconic Pioneer plaque. The Metal Store offers 6061 Aluminum Sheets in modest quantities with no minimums for all Aluminum 6061.
