6061 / EN AW-6061 (AlMg1SiCu) Alloy Plate

6061 / EN AW-6061 (AlMg1SiCu) belongs to the 6xxx series (Al-Mg-Si) of heat-treatable aluminum alloys and is the most widely used structural aluminum alloy globally. It relies on magnesium and silicon to form Mg₂Si precipitates; its strength is significantly enhanced through solution treatment and aging (T6)—a characteristic not found in the 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx series (commercially pure and rust-proof aluminum alloys).

6061 / EN AW-6061 (AlMg1SiCu) is a heat-treatable 6xxx series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy and the most widely used structural aluminum alloy globally. It derives its strength primarily from the formation of Mg₂Si precipitates and significant strengthening via solution treatment and artificial aging (T6)—characteristics absent in the 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx series (commercially pure and rust-proof) aluminum alloys. It offers a balanced combination of properties, including good machinability, weldability, and atmospheric corrosion resistance. While it can be anodized, the alloy's silicon content results in a grayish natural anodized finish; consequently, it is generally unsuitable for high-end decorative applications and is instead typically used for structural anodized components.

Tolerance Requirements

Dimensional tolerances comply with EN485 / ASTM B209; structural components generally require "Industrial High-Precision" grade.

Standard Commercial Grade: Relaxed thickness tolerances; applicable to non-critical sheet metal parts.

Industrial High-Precision Grade: Strict tolerances for thickness, flatness, length, and width; for thick plates (T651), internal stress is strictly controlled to prevent deformation during CNC machining.

Supply condition

Common supply status (Temper)	O: Annealed state; high ductility; suitable for heat treatment after forming.
	T4: Solution heat-treated and naturally aged; good toughness; suitable for bent parts.
	T6 / T651: Solution heat-treated and artificially aged (preferred for export projects); highest strength. T651 is stress-relieved plate that minimizes machining distortion; the preferred choice for CNC machining of thick plates.

Advantages of 6061 Aluminum Plate

Heat-treatable for enhanced strength; T6-temper strength is significantly higher than that of 1060, 1100, 3003, and 5052 alloys, making it suitable for load-bearing structural components.

1. Excellent machinability: Ensures smooth CNC cutting and superior surface finish; a preferred choice for tooling and backing plates.

2. Good overall atmospheric corrosion resistance: Suitable for outdoor structural applications.

3. Good weldability: Strength can be restored through post-weld heat treatment.

4. A widely used, established global alloy: Highly recognized by overseas customers; accompanying MTC (Material Test Certificates) facilitate easy third-party inspection.

Payment Methods

Flexible payment terms available: T/T and L/C. For new clients, 30% advance payment for production, balance against copy of B/L. L/C is acceptable for large & regular orders to secure both parties.

Warehousing Management

Before each batch of steel leaves the factory, a complete process inspection is strictly carried out. From chemical composition, mechanical properties to dimensional tolerance and surface quality, each item is carefully checked to ensure compliance with national standards and export regulations. At the same time, the quantity, packaging and rust prevention treatment are also verified. An original factory warranty certificate is attached, guaranteeing the quality. Before shipment, inspection photos are provided. Any non-compliant items will not be released, and the quality is fully controllable throughout the process. This ensures your overseas purchasing is safe and worry-free.

All items are visually inspected before delivery. No cracks, deformation, rust, scratches or cutting marks are allowed; edges must be smooth. Only visually sound products will be shipped.

Thickness, width, length, wall thickness, outer diameter have been measured. Straightness, curvature, torsion, diagonal tolerance all meet the corresponding tolerance requirements.

Quality inspection includes: mechanical property tests (yield strength, tensile strength), elongation rate, impact energy, hardness testing, chemical composition testing, process performance testing, etc.

Inspection according to packaging requirements: secure binding, moisture-proof film, rust-proof paper, export fumigation/fumigation-free wooden crates, shipping marks, gross weight, net weight, etc.

We will provide full reception services to support the customers' on-site inspection of the goods.
