Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this Aluminum 6061 stock sheet offers a nominal thickness of 0.520 inches, a length of 35 inches, and a width of 19 inches. The 6061 alloy is an aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy known for its good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability. This makes it exceptionally suitable for environments where chemical inertness and structural integrity are paramount, such as industrial filtration systems, custom screening, and separation equipment. The precise dimensions ensure consistent performance and ease of integration into existing or custom-designed filtration assemblies.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and material deformation.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling specifically designed for cutting aluminum to achieve clean cuts and minimize burrs.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during high-temperature applications.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting mechanisms if the filtration system will experience significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • Filter Media Support Grids
  • Custom Filtration Housings
  • Industrial Separator Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with highly alkaline or acidic substances, as this may degrade the aluminum alloy.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when machining or cutting, as aluminum dust can be flammable.
