6061-T651 is the main alloy of 6061 aluminum alloy. Although its strength is not comparable to that of the 2XXX or 7XXX series, its magnesium and silicon alloy has many properties. It has excellent machinability, good welding characteristics and plating properties, as well as good corrosion resistance, high toughness, dense material free of defects after treatment and easy to polish, easy to color film and excellent oxidation effect.
6061 aluminum alloy typical use
Used for bar applications are widely used in decoration, packaging, construction, transportation, electronics, aviation, aerospace, weapons and other industries.
Aluminum for aerospace is used in the manufacture of aircraft skins, fuselage frames, beams, rotors, propellers, fuel tanks, wall panels and landing gear columns, as well as rocket forging rings, spacecraft wall panels and so on.
Aluminum for transportation is used for automobile body structure materials, subway vehicles, railroad buses, high-speed buses, doors, windows, shelves, automobile engine parts, air conditioners, radiators, body panels, wheel hubs and ship materials.
Aluminum for packaging is mainly used as metal packaging material in the form of sheet and foil for cans, lids, bottles, buckets and packaging foil. It is widely used for packaging of beverages, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cigarettes and industrial products.
Aluminum for printing is mainly used to make PS plates. Aluminum-based PS plates are a new material in the printing industry for automatic plate making and printing.
Aluminum alloy for building decoration Due to its good corrosion resistance, sufficient strength, excellent processing performance and welding performance, aluminum alloy is mainly widely used in building frames, doors and windows, suspended ceilings, decorative surfaces and so on. Such as all kinds of architectural doors and windows, aluminum curtain wall, aluminum curtain wall panels, profile panels, chevron panels, color coated aluminum panels, etc..
Aluminum for electronic and electrical appliances is mainly used in the fields of current conductor, overhead line, conductor, electrical components, refrigerators, air conditioners, cables and so on. Specifications: round bar, square bar.
Representative applications include aerospace fixtures, electrical fixtures, communication equipment, also widely used in automated machinery parts, precision machining, mold making, electronic and precision instruments, SMT, PC board soldering racks, etc.
