6061 Heat-treatable Aluminum Alloy Coil

6061 is a 6000-series aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy that can be strengthened through heat treatment. Its primary alloying elements are magnesium and silicon, which form the strengthening phase Mg₂Si. Following T4, T6, or T651 heat treatment, its strength is significantly enhanced. The alloy offers a favorable combination of good weldability, corrosion resistance, and machinability, with moderate formability. Typical supply tempers include O, T4, T6, and T651.

6061 is 6xxx Al-Mg-Si heat-treatable aluminum alloy. Main alloying elements Mg and Si form Mg₂Si strengthening phase. Strength greatly improved after T4/T6/T651 heat treatment. It has good weldability, corrosion resistance and machinability, moderate formability. Common tempers: O, T4, T6, T651. Higher strength than 5xxx alloys after heat treatment, while strength reduces after welding. Widely used for structural frames, moulds and precision machined parts, popular medium-strength alloy for export engineering projects.

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.
