Comparison of Alloy Designations for 6061 aluminium sheeting.

Alloy Series	Chinese Standard	American Standard	European Standard
6xxx Series	6061	6061	EN AW-6061
	6082	–	EN AW-6082

6061 aluminum sheet offers good abilities in processability, toughness, corrosion resistance, has a good anodizing quality, is easy to covered with color film. It is worth mentioning that the dense structure of 6061 aluminum sheet does not deform after processing.

6061 Aluminum Plate Temper designation (For Reference)

Different tempers of 6061 aluminum has a little difference in the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. The T6 temper is the most used of the 6061 aluminum alloys. After the solution heat treatment, it can be straightened and leveled without affecting the mechanical properties. The price of T651 is higher than other temper under the same thickness.

Temper	Definition
O	Annealed state. This state applies to the alloys that are fully annealed to obtain the lowest strength.
T4	Solution heat-treated and naturally aged
T5	Solution heat-treated, stress relived by stretching and naturally aged
T6	Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged
T651	Heat treatment temper. Solution heat-treated, stress relived by stretching and artificially aged

6061 Aluminum Plate Applications

6061 aluminium plate with thin thickness can be used in phone’s slot, computer stands and shell, while thick plate can be used in mould, wheel hub, decoration panel for bus, and chair and chassis parts for cars. In addition, extra-wide aluminum sheet with a maximum width up to 2650mm, is an ideal material for curtain wall.
