6061 aluminum plate for aircraft

Description

6061 Aluminum Plate Manufacturer RAYIWELL MFG supply aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy, strengthened by precipitation hardening. This alloy has medium strength, formability, weldability, machinability and corrosion resistance.

Aluminum Plate 6061 T6 temper has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). In thicknesses of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) or less, it has elongation of 8% or more; in thicker sections, it has elongation of 10%. T651 temper has similar mechanical properties.

Alloy 6061 alumium plate has a relatively high strength, easily welded and is widely used not only for making bicycle frames, but also in construction, aircraft, shipbuilding.

The main alloying elements in 6061 aluminum plate are magnesium and silicon, with moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and oxidation effect. Widely used in various industrial structures requiring certain strength and high antibiotic corrosion resistance.

The main chemical components are: copper 0.15-0.4%, silicon 0.4-0.8%, iron 0.7%, manganese 0.15%, magnesium 0.8-1.2%, zinc 0.25%, chromium 0.04-0.35%, titanium 0.15%.

The difference between 6061 aluminum plate T6 and T651 is that, under normal circumstances, the internal stress of T6 will be relatively large, and it will be deformed during processing. The most suitable state for processing should be T651, stretched on the basis of T6, and eliminate internal stress.

6061-T6 : cooling after solution heat treatment to achieve high strength, no cold working;

6061-T651 : Cooling after solution heat treatment to achieve high strength, and then cold stretching by stretching machine to eliminate residual internal stress after heat treatment, so as to ensure the precision of machined products without deformation after deep processing.

6061 T6 Aluminum Plate is a commonly used aluminum alloy. Unless otherwise specified, it is generally in the 6061 T6, and 6061 T651 is the best feature of the 6-series aluminum alloy, and it is a fighter in the 6000-series aluminum alloy. It has excellent processing performance, excellent welding characteristics and electroplating performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, dense material without defects, easy polishing, easy coloring and film formation and excellent oxidation effect.

Since 6061-T651 is a high-quality aluminum alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre-stretching process, although its strength cannot be compared with 2XXX series or 7XXX series, it has many characteristics of magnesium and silicon alloys, excellent processing performance and excellent welding Features and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing, compact material without defects and east to polish, easy to color film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics. The representative applications of 6061-T651 include aerospace fixtures, electrical fixtures, and communication fields, and are also widely used in automated mechanical parts, precision machining, mold manufacturing, electronics and precision instruments, SMT, PC board solder carriers, etc.
