Aluminium Plates block 6061 for tooling

Last Updated :2023/06/13
Features of Aluminium Plates block 6061 for tooling
 The main alloying elements of aluminum block for 6061 tools are magnesium and silicon. Its strength is medium, which can be welded, has good oxidation effect and excellent corrosion resistance.
Aluminium Plates block 6061 for tooling are mostly used as auto parts, and the aluminum alloy plates used for different parts of aluminum for body plates are also different. Among them, 6061 aluminum alloy is aluminum plate for lightweight body products, car fenders, and car hoods. 6061 aluminum plates can be used for outer panel aluminum and automobile doors.
 
Mechanical properties of Aluminium Plates block 6061 for tooling
The mechanical properties of 6061 depend on tempering, heat treatment, and materials.
6061-0
6061-0, tensile strength of 18,000 psi (125 MPa), yield strength of 8,000 psi (55 MPa), elongation of 25-30%.
6061-T4
6061-T4, the tensile strength is 30,000 psi (207 MPa), the yield strength is 16,000 psi (110 MPa), and the elongation is 16%.
6061-T6
6061-T6, the tensile strength is 42,000 psi (290 MPa), the yield strength is 35,000 psi (241 MPa), and the elongation is 8% or more when the plate thickness is less than 0.25 inches (6.4 mm). The thickness is greater than 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) and the elongation is 10%.
6061-T651
The mechanical properties of 6061-T651 are similar to 6061-T6. The aluminum plate carried by the unmanned spacecraft Pioneer 10 is made of this alloy.
 
Typical use of Aluminium Plates block 6061 for tooling
Aluminium Plates block 6061 for toolingrequires a variety of industrial structural parts with certain strength, weldability and high corrosion resistance, such as the manufacture of trucks, built-up buildings, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, precision machining, and a wide range of industrial materials etc.
