6061 aluminium is an American alloy and the most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys.
Widespread use of the alloy includes the production of heavy-duty structures. It is a medium to high strength heat-treatable material with improved corrosion resistance and medium fatigue strength. 6061 aluminium, in the annealed condition, offers excellent weldability and formability, and is readily disposed to furnace brazing.
6061 commercial aluminium alloy offers medium to high strength. It is a heat treatable alloy with medium fatigue strength and very good corrosion resistance. It is typically used in heavy duty applications.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
