Manufacturer and Supplier of Aluminium 6061 T4 T6 T651 Plates

Aluminium Alloy 6061 Plates (T4, T6, T651 Tempers)

Aluminium 6061 is one of the most versatile aluminium alloys, offering a perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and formability. The alloy is widely used in many industries due to its ease of machining, good weldability, and excellent mechanical properties. It is available in various tempers, including T4, T6, and T651, each offering specific benefits based on the application's requirements.

Critical Properties of 6061 Aluminium Plates

• Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine and industrial environments.
• Good Strength-to-Weight Ratio: High strength while maintaining light weight, ideal for structural applications.
• Machinability: Can be easily machined and formed into complex parts.
• Weldability: Excellent weldability with all standard methods, making it versatile for fabrication.
• Heat Treatable: The alloy can be heat-treated to achieve a wide range of mechanical properties.

Tempers Available for 6061 Aluminium Plates

T4 Temper

• Properties: Naturally aged after solution heat treatment. Medium strength and good formability.
• Applications: Suitable for parts that require good formability, such as aerospace structures, automotive panels, and components that need further shaping.

T6 Temper

• Properties: Solution heat-treated and artificially aged. T6 offers high strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
• Applications: Ideal for structural components, such as beams, frames, and support systems in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries.

T651 Temper

• Properties: Similar to T6, but stress-relieved by stretching to reduce internal stresses caused by heat treatment.
• Applications: Used in precision-machined parts where high dimensional stability is crucial, such as in aerospace components, marine structures, and industrial tooling.

Sizes and Standards

Uses of 6061 Aluminium Plates (T4, T6, T651 Tempers)

• Aerospace Industry: Used in aircraft structures, landing gear, and other components where strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
• Automotive Industry: Widely used in automotive parts such as frames, engine components, and truck bodies.
• Construction Industry: Ideal for structural applications like scaffolding, beams, and roof trusses due to its strength-to-weight ratio.
• Marine Industry: Suitable for boat hulls, decks, and other marine components exposed to harsh environments.
• Industrial Fabrication: Used in tooling, jigs, and fixtures that require dimensional stability and precision.

Pricing Information

• Global Aluminium Market Rates: Prices fluctuate with global supply and demand, often influenced by the London Metal Exchange (LME).
• Order Quantity: Larger orders typically receive volume discounts, reducing the overall cost.
• Customization: Custom sizes, surface finishes (anodized, polished), and specific tempering processes can affect the final price.
