6061 is a high-quality aluminum alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre drawing process. Although its strength can not be compared with 2XXX system or 7xxx system, its magnesium and silicon alloy have many characteristics, such as excellent processing performance, excellent welding characteristics and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, compact and defect free material, easy polishing, easy coloring film and oxidation effect Excellent and other excellent features.
Main Attributes of 6061 aluminum CNC parts:
-
Excellent corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions & good resistance to sea water
-
Very good weldability although reduced strength in weld zone (can be re-heat treated & artificially aged again to restore strength)
-
Medium fatigue strength
-
Available in sheet, plate & extrusions
-
Good surface finish
-
Good toughness and structural strength
-
Good machinability
