61 tons 6061 T651 aluminum plate for Mexico customer

Great news from our factory, we recently signed a contract with mexico customer with 61 tons 6061 t651 aluminum plate. 6061-T651 Aluminum plate is an excellent candidate for most processing techniques and both interior and exterior applications. Considered the most versatile of the heat treatable aluminum alloys, it offers a good corrosion resistance. This is a lightweight material with a semi-smooth surface and a dull mill finish. Commonly machined to end user specifications, common applications include aircrafts and trailers.

The requirements are as follows:

6061 Aluminum T651 Plate is one of the most adaptable and popular aluminum alloys. This aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy is strengthened by precipitation hardening offering excellent machinability, formability and weldability.

6061 aluminum plate is a medium strength alloy and is typically selected when welding or brazing is required or for its high corrosion resistance in all tempers. 6061 has excellent joining characteristics, good acceptance to anodizing and is easily cold worked and formed in the annealed condition.

6061 plate has a T651 temper, indicating it has been solution heat treated followed by a minimal stretching to reduce stresses in the material. The aluminum was then artificially aged to allow the alloying elements to precipitate out of the material giving our 6061-T651 aluminum plate immediate maximum strength

6061-T651 aluminum plate has a mill finish. The 6061-T651 aluminum plate does not have a polished or brushed finish and does not come with a protective PVC to prevent scratching as it is typically not used for aesthetic or cosmetic uses.
