6061 aluminum is a heat-treatable reinforced alloy with good formability, weldability and machinability, as well as medium strength, which can maintain good operability after annealing.
Aluminum 6061 -T4 AMS 4146 Rolle Ring is primarily used for forging parts that will be welded or brazed to form assemblies and then subjected to further heat treatment to develop the full strength of the alloy.
6061 Aluminum alloy composition by mass:
Constituent element | Minimum (% by weight) | Maximum(% by weight) |
Al | 95.85% | 98.56% |
Mg | 0.80% | 1.20% |
Si | 0.40% | 0.80% |
Fe | 0 | 0.70% |
Cu | 0.15% | 0.40% |
Cr | 0.04% | 0.35% |
Zn | 0 | 0.25% |
Ti | 0 | 0.15% |
Mn | 0 | 0.15% |
(others) | 0 | 0.15% total (0.05% each) |
6061 is commonly used for the following:
construction of aircraft structures, such as wings and fuselages, more commonly in homebuilt aircraft than commercial or military aircraft.
yacht construction, including small utility boats.
automotive parts,etc.
