6061-T6

6061-t6-product-image

Aluminum alloy 6061 T6 is a versatile, heat treatable high strength aluminium alloy combining strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability. AA 6061 T6 is widely used in structural, transport, aerospace, and general engineering applications, delivering reliable performance and lightweight construction across demanding environments in the UAE and GCC.

Key Features

6061 aluminium alloy offers above average strength among 6000 series grades, excellent weldability, and good formability. This high strength aluminium alloy supports machining, extrusion, and finishing while providing corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications where durability and weight savings matter.

Typical Applications
  • Structural frames and load-bearing components
  • Transport systems: truck bodies, rail coaches, ship-building
  • Aerospace fittings and extruded profiles
  • General engineering parts requiring good machinability and finishing
Forms of Supply

Supplied in T6 condition, aluminum plate, aluminium sheets, extrusions, and bars are available in standard lengths and custom sizes for easy fabrication and machining. Reputable metal traders and non ferrous metals suppliers in UAE and GCC provide reliable sourcing for industrial and structural projects.

  • High strength aluminium alloy with lightweight construction
  • Good weldability, machinability, and formability for fabrication
  • Available as aluminum plate, aluminium sheets, extrusions, and bars
  • Supplied by trusted metal trader and non ferrous metals suppliers in UAE and GCC
  • Suitable for structural frames, transport systems, aerospace fittings, and general engineering components

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition
  • Silicon (Si): 0.40–0.80% – Enhances strength and alloying stability.
  • Magnesium (Mg): 0.80–1.20% – Key strengthening element through precipitate hardening.
  • Copper (Cu): 0.15–0.40% – Improves strength but slightly reduces corrosion resistance.
  • Iron (Fe): ≤ 0.70% – Limits at this level to maintain toughness.
  • Chromium (Cr): 0.04–0.35% – Stabilizes the structure and improves weld-zone performance.
  • Zinc (Zn): ≤ 0.25% – Minor addition; helps control alloy balance.
  • Titanium (Ti): ≤ 0.15% – Grain-refining element for improved toughness.
  • Others (each): ≤ 0.05% – Strict impurity control.
  • Others (total): ≤ 0.15% – Overall minor elements sum limit.
  • Aluminium (Al): Balance – Provides lightweight matrix and formability.
Treatment
  • Solution Heat-Treatment: Alloy is heated to dissolve alloy elements then rapidly quenched to lock in a supersaturated solid solution.
  • Artificial Aging (T6): Aged under controlled temperature to precipitate strengthening phases, achieving peak hardness and strength.
  • Stress Relieving / Finishing: After aging, machining or finishing is carried out; the alloy accepts anodizing and coatings well.
