6061 aluminum coil is a heat-treatable Mg-Si alloy supplied in tempers F, O, T4, T6 and T651. It combines medium-to-high strength, good weldability and corrosion resistance for general-purpose structural and engineering applications.
In coil form, 6061 is available in thicknesses from 0.2 mm to 10.0 mm and widths up to 2,650 mm. Typical tensile strength reaches approximately 310 MPa in T6/T651, with yield strength around 276 MPa.
The alloy is routinely produced to ASTM B209 or EN 485 and shipped with a Mill Test Certificate as standard documentation.
6061 aluminum coil is characterized by favorable mechanical attributes, notable weldability, resistance to corrosion, and extensive use in extrusion procedures. Its nominal chemistry includes 0.8–1.2% Mg, 0.4–0.8% Si, 0.15–0.40% Cu and 0.04–0.35% Cr, with aluminum as the balance. The alloy is available in pre-tempered and tempered grades, such as annealed 6061-O, solutionized and artificially aged 6061-T6, and solutionized, stress-relieved, stretched and artificially aged 6061-T651. In the T6/T651 condition, typical tensile strength reaches 260–310 MPa. The versatile nature of this alloy renders it suitable for engineering and structural purposes, as well as the construction of boats, furniture, and transportation equipment.
