Aluminium Alloy 6061

Aluminium alloy 6061 is a high / medium strength commercial alloy. It offers a range of good mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance.6061 is highly weldable. Typically, after welding, the properties near the weld are those of 6061-0, a loss of strength of around 80%, but the material can then be re-heat-treated to restore -T4 or -T6 temper for the whole piece.Aluminium alloy 6061 applications are wide ranging, including shop building and aerospace applications.6061 is widely used for construction of aircraft structures and in yacht construction.6061 is commonly used in the construction of bicycle frames and components, along with alloy 7075.At Capalex we use the following alloys; 1050, 1200, 2014(A), 2024, 3003, 5083, 6005(A), 6060, 6061, 6063(A), 6082, 7020, 7075.
