- Resist corrosion
- Enable welding
- Enable cold formability
- Receive heat treatments
It is also lightweight and easy to work with. It has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, doesn't bend easily, and is a medium-to-high strength solution suitable for large structural projects.
What is 6061 Aluminum Used For?
6061 aluminum is found in countless settings; it's used for building automotive components, aircraft, bridges, ships, furniture, yard ramps, and more. Our customers commonly purchase 6061 aluminum for a variety of purposes including:
- Home repairs
- Building components
- Mounting plates
- Window frames
- Equipment parts
There are also countless engineering and structural applications for aluminum 6061.
Is 6061 or 7075 Aluminum Stronger?
7075 aluminum is much stronger than 6061 aluminum, but there are plenty of applications for which 6061 aluminum is sufficient in strength. 6061 aluminum even outperforms 7075 aluminum in certain applications, despite the latter being much stronger than the former. This is because 6061 aluminum has better thermal conductivity and a higher melting point, and is therefore a more suitable choice in high-temperature environments. 6061 aluminum is also easier to work on using machines. Overall, 6061 aluminum is a more affordable raw metal than 7075 aluminum, with many comparable qualities.
