6061 Aluminum Sheet
Aluminum of the 6061 grade is made from magnesium and silicon, making this versatile alloy highly weldable and strong. However, it is not very bendable. Heat treatment and pre-stretching enhance the corrosion resistance and performance of the 6061 aluminum sheet. Aluminum 6061 has the main tempers of T6, T4, and T651, meaning that this alloy is thermally treated.
Aluminum sheet 6061 is a good material to use while creating precision machinery, computer, communications, and consumer electronic products, molds, marine, and automotive applications, structural frames, and base plates.

6061 Aluminum Sheet Fabrication
KDM offers a wide range of fabrication services like cutting, welding, bending, forming, and stamping. Laser-cutting intricate aluminum parts and custom tools are another common manufacturing solution for 6061 sheets. Moreover, we will expertly augment the surface of your 6061 aluminum metal sheet. This may mean a decorative finish or a chemical treatment.
The price depends on thickness and size. The average cost ranges from $50-100.
Aluminum from the 6000 series of the 6061 alloy is a precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy combined with magnesium and silicon.
Aluminum temper, or level of hardness, T6 has a strong strength-to-weight ratio. It is therefore utilised for engineering and structural applications like boats and furniture.
Despite the fact that mild steel is harder than 6061 aluminium, aluminum is more flexible under impact than mild steel.
No, 6061 aluminum sheets are corrosion-resistant.
