The main alloy element of 6061 aluminum alloy is magnesium and silicon, with medium strength and good corrosion resistance. And weldability, good oxidation effect. 6061 aluminum alloy has excellent processability, good corrosion resistance, high
Two of the most common tempers for 6061 aluminum sheet are T6 and T651. T6 aluminum has been solution heat treated and artificially aged, resulting in a
Aluminum 7075-T651 exhibits higher tensile strength and yield strength compared to aluminum 6061-T6. This indicates greater resistance to deformation. On the other hand,

The mechanical properties of 6061 depend greatly on the temper, or heat treatment, of the material. Young's Modulus is 69 GPa (10,000 ksi) regardless of temper. Annealed 6061 (6061-O temper) has maximum ultimate tensile strength no more than 150 MPa (22 ksi), and maximum yield strength no more than 83 MPa (12
