6061 Aluminium Sheet
Highly versatile engineering material.
6061 aluminium sheet contains magnesium and silicon and is a medium to high strength alloy.
6061 is a medium to high strength aluminium alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements. We stock 6061 aluminium in sheet form in O, T4, T42, T6 tempers. 6061 aluminium offers various attractive characteristics making the alloy an extremely versatile engineering material for commercial applications. Features include medium fatigue strength and very good corrosion resistance. The alloy also benefits from good weldability, although overall strength is reduced in the welding zone. Cold formability is also good. 6061 aluminium sheet finds typical use in applications where a combination of improved corrosion resistance and strength is a requirement.
Stock Availability
We stock and supply 6061 aluminium sheets in a wide range of thicknesses and tempers, including 0, T4, T42, T6. We also offer in-house processing services where we guillotine your aluminium sheets to your size requirements.
