It is known to be highly versatile and have a good strength-to-weight ratio. It has good corrosion resistance and is often used in the aerospace and marine industries. 6061 aluminum angle is one of the most common aluminum angle shapes used.
6061 aluminum angle has good corrosion resistance, good machinability, and excellent welding capabilities. In addition, it has good strength-to-weight ratio and is highly versatile.
6061 aluminum angle is used in the aerospace, marine, machinery, structural and ornamental industry due to its high versatility.
You will find 6061 aluminum angle in medical assemblies, aircraft construction, ship construction, transmission towers, truck trailers, and furniture.
6061 has good machinability in the T6 temper. However, it is not as easy to machine when it is in the annealed condition.
6061 has excellent weldability. Gas tungsten arc welding is the most common approach for thinner sections. Gas metal arc welding is recommended for heavier sections. While 4043 can be used for welding, T6’s mechanical properties may decrease.
6061 aluminum angle can be heat treated at 990°F. The piece will need enough time to be evenly, thoroughly heated, followed by quenching in water.
Precipitation hardening can take place at 320°F for 18 hours. The process would be followed by air cooling, followed again by heating to 350°F and, again, air cooling.

ANSWER:
Aluminum 6061 has a density of 2.7 g/cc (metric) or 0.0975 lb/in³ (imperial).
ANSWER:
The thermal conductivity, or diffusivity, of both aluminum 6061 tempers is 68 mm²/s (imperial) or 170 W/m-K.
ANSWER:
The tensile strength of aluminum 6061 depends on its temper.
ANSWER:
T6 and T6511 are both tempers, or variants, of 6061 aluminum. They have the same alloy composition, but have different mechanical properties are a result of their different processing. Some notable differences:
