6061 A356

6061 A356  can be a fantastic, common goal aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as its alloying elements. 6061 has the highest resistance to corrosion of all the heat treated aluminums, but strength is reduce. 6061 has a wide array of mechanical properties and is readily machined and has good forming properties.

6061 A356 welds simply, has exceptional joining traits, and very good acceptance to anodizing and also other applied coatings. Electrical conductivity is 40% of copper. 6061 shapes are out there from sheet and plate at Speedy Metals utilizing our high definition plasma cutter.

Aluminum is an amazing metal. It might be recycled practically indefinitely – in truth, nearly three-quarters of all aluminum developed in the last 230 years is still in use these days. Recycling aluminum uses 95% much less power than producing metal from new supplies.

In its purest form, aluminum has no genuine structural use because it is also soft. Having said that, when alloyed with other metals, it becomes stronger and may be employed in a assortment of manufacturing applications. we stock an extensive array of aluminum sheet, which has been stencilled and PVC-coated to make sure it is not broken through transport. This range involves:
6061 A356 – This is one of the most popular aluminum alloys for general use. It is actually a medium to high-strength alloy which can be heat treated, and it has exceptional weldability and superior corrosion resistance. It truly is typically used for heavy duty structures for example ships, truck frames, bridges, aerospace applications, rail coaches and truck frames, amongst others.
