What is the difference between 7075 and 6061 aluminum plates

6061 aluminum is a better material. Because 7075 aluminum contains a high proportion of other metals, so welding, processing are more difficult, especially 7075 aluminum (the latter two digits represent the alloy ratio) it is higher proportion, so it generally can not be used as a frame material. By contrast, the 6061 aluminum plate has a lower proportion of other metals, so it can be enhanced by special-shaped, various treatments to reduce its strength and wind resistance, and can even be reduced by three suction pipes. The main alloy elements of 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon and form Mg2Si phase. A certain amount of manganese and chromium can neutralize the bad effect of iron; sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc can be added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; a small amount of copper in conductive materials can counteract the bad effect of titanium and iron on conductivity; zirconium or t...

6061 aluminum for aerospace and marine applications

Grade 6061 aluminum is one of our most popular aluminium alloys, and knowing why most customer perfer to chooseit can be difficult. So let’s take a look at together. Designed for use in aerospace, fittings, valves, drive shafts, couplings, structural, signs, and marine applications. Aluminum 6061 is an aluminum alloy that has been precipitation-hardened and uses magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. 6061 also possesses good weldability. 6061 is one of the most popular, general-use aluminum alloys and it is commonly used in extrusion processes. Depending on the temper, its mechanical properties can vary a great deal, making 6061 extremely versatile as well. One of the most common 6061 tempers is T6 aluminum plate. T6 temper 6061 has a tensile strength of at least 290 MPa (42,000 psi) and yield strength of at least 240 MPa (35,000 psi). The available sizes for the 6061 aluminum plate are between .25 and 12 inches thick, between 48 and 96 inches wide and up to 240 i...
