This grade is commonly referred to as the architectural alloy, or 'square corner'. It was developed as an extrusion alloy with reasonable tensile strength, excellent finishing characteristics, and excellent corrosion resistance..

ABOUT

SPECIFICATIONS:

ASTM B209
AMS QQ A 250/11

APPLICATIONS:

6061 is used in truck bodies and frames where appearance, corrosion resistance, and good strength are required. The T6 temper improves strength but makes forming more restricted.

HOW TO MEASURE:

T (Thickness) X W (Width) X L (Length)
