Aluminium alloy 6061 is a high / medium strength commercial alloy. It offers a range of good mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance.The alloy can be well anodized so it is applied to various structural component requiring medium strength, high weldability and corrosion resistance, such as plate, tube, bar and section material used in truck, tower building, vessel, trolley, railway vehicle and furniture. |
