6061-T6 Material Properties
T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi (300 MPa) and yield strength of at least 35,000 psi (241 MPa). More typical values are 45,000 psi (310 MPa) ultimate tensile strength and 40,000 psi (275 MPa) yield strength.
In thicknesses of 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) or less, 6061-T6 has elongation of 8% or more. In thicker sections, elongation is approximately 10%.
T651 temper has similar mechanical properties.
Thermal Conductivity
The typical thermal conductivity value for 6061-T6 aluminum at 80°C is approximately 152 W/m K.
Fatigue Performance
A material data sheet defines the fatigue limit under cyclic load as approximately 14,000 psi (100 MPa) for 500,000,000 completely reversed cycles using a standard RR Moore test machine and specimen.
Aluminum does not exhibit a well-defined “knee” on its S-N graph, so there is some debate as to how many cycles equate to “infinite life.”
The actual fatigue limit for a specific application can be significantly affected by conventional de-rating factors including loading conditions, stress gradient, and surface finish.
