Description
Sch40 Aluminum Pipe 6061-T6
Aluminum 6061-T6 is a specific grade of aluminum alloy that is commonly used in various industries for its strength, durability, and excellent resistance to corrosion. It's part of the 6000 series, which means it is an alloy made primarily of aluminum, with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements.
The "T6" designation refers to the heat treatment process the material undergoes, which involves solution heat treatment and aging. This process significantly increases the strength of the alloy, making it one of the most popular choices for structural applications, such as in aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries.
Key properties of 6061-T6 include:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Good corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments
- Excellent machinability and weldability
- Good fatigue resistance
- Ability to form into various shapes
It’s commonly used for parts like bike frames, aircraft components, marine structures, and automotive parts.
