What is 6061 T6 Aluminum?

6061 T6 Aluminum is strong and lightweight. Our laser cut 6061 aluminum is commonly found in structural applications where toughness and corrosion resistance are of high importance. That’s pretty typical for aluminum alloys in general, but what makes this 6061 series stand out is its heat-treatability. The heat-treating process, called precipitation hardening, further strengthens the alloy without robbing it of key properties.

What can you make with 6061 T6 Aluminum parts?

Many of our aluminum alloys are able to withstand tremendous amounts of vibration (also known as fatigue strength) making them perfectly suited for high-impact applications such as transportation and robotics. For any of these applications 6061 aluminum is a good middle of the road alloy, pairing the strength of 7075 with the malleability of 5052.
