6061 Aluminum Plate
6061 Aluminum Plate is a medium-strength aluminum alloy that is well-known for its excellent machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it the preferred alloy for general applications.
6061 Aluminum alloy can be heat-treated, effectively resisting stress cracking, and is easy to weld and machine, but has some limitations in terms of formability. 6061 aluminum plate is typically used for parts that require high strength and stiffness, good corrosion resistance, and excellent surface finish.
- Medium strength
- Good corrosion resistance
- Excellent weldability
- Good machinability

6061 Aluminum Sheet & Plate Tempers
6061-O
Untreated 6061 aluminum sheet in the O temper is usually produced as thin sheets with a thickness of usually 8.0mm or less, suitable for bending and forming applications.
Compared to T6 and T651 tempers, 6061-O aluminum sheet is much cheaper and is considered to be at an average price level.
- Resists cracking
- Good corrosion resistance
- Surface can be anodized
6061-T6
After undergoing an artificial aging heat treatment, the 6061 aluminum alloy’s tensile strength and yield strength improve even more. This makes it suitable for complex precision manufacturing and applications that require higher strength.
The price of 6061 aluminum plate in T6 temper is higher than that in “O” temper, but lower than “T651”. The specific price depends on the thickness and size of the aluminum plate.
- 6061-T6 is suitable after undergoing artificial aging heat treatment
- Tensile strength and yield strength are further improved
- Can be welded
- Surface can be anodized
6061-T651
To eliminate the internal stress generated during the heat treatment of aluminum sheet, pre-stretching is done based on artificial aging heat treatment. This ensures the elongation of aluminum medium plate while improving its tensile and yield strength.
6061 aluminum plate in “T651” temper has the highest price, but generally lower than other pre-stretched heat-treatable alloys such as 2024 and 7075.
- 6061-T651 undergoes artificial aging heat treatment
- This further improves its tensile and yield strength while ensuring elongation
- It can be welded
- The surface can be anodized
Physical Performance Indicators | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Hardness (HB) |
6061-O | 110 - 140 | 55 - 75 | Low |
6061-T6 | 290 - 310 | 240 - 270 | High |
6061-T651 | 310 | 275 | Medium |
